It's a rhetoric to fully credit himself if he does win the 2006 championship. Just kidding.

I guess, once you have opened your mouth and shoved your foot inside, there is no reason to not open it farther and shove your other foot in there.

Alonso turns attack to Fisichella
04 October 2006

Reigning world champion Fernando Alonso has widened his attack on the Renault team after losing his championship lead in China. The 25-year-old, who in the Spanish press this week accused his team colleagues of abandoning the quest for his drivers' title, has now been quoted as criticising teammate Giancarlo Fisichella's tactics on the Shanghai circuit.

While Ferrari boss Jean Todt hinted this week that Fisichella's precision driving on the straights was tantamount to illegal blocking, Alonso attacked his Roman cohort for overtaking him. Alonso reportedly told Sport-Informations-Dienst: 'In the same situation I don't believe that (Ferrari's) Massa would have driven past Schumacher.'

A Renault spokesman, however, insisted that 33-year-old Fisichella 'drove purely for the team' in the Chinese GP. And he said of Spaniard Alonso: 'There is no problem at all with the relations between him and the team.'

Alonso turns attack to Fisichella

Reigning World Champion Fernando Alonso has widened his attack on the Renault team after losing his championship lead in China.

The 25-year-old, who in the Spanish press this week accused his team colleagues of abandoning the quest for his drivers' title, has now been quoted as criticising team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella's tactics on the Shanghai circuit.

While Ferrari boss Jean Todt hinted this week that Fisichella's precision driving on the straights was tantamount to illegal blocking, Alonso attacked his Roman cohort for overtaking him.

Alonso reportedly told Sport-Informations-Dienst: "In the same situation I don't believe that (Ferrari's) Massa would have driven past Schumacher."

A Renault spokesman, however, insisted that 33-year-old Fisichella 'drove purely for the team' in the Chinese Grand Prix.

And he said of Spaniard Alonso: "There is no problem at all with the relations between him and the team."

Tomorrow we expect Alonso to hit out at global warming, which must also be responsible for the loss of the championship lead.

Wow, he is really cracking under the pressure of competition. He was a much more respectable driver when he had a 20pt lead!

Oh how funny, think of how much he is doing now and he is driving for a championship quality team. Wait until he gets to McLaren, he ought to be to the media just about every day regarding McLaren.

And for the record, I'll still wear the Renault hats, they look too good not to...

<-Quickly losing any respect that I had for FA. I finally watched quali and the race last night on the DVR so I can come into ARC forum today. What the hell was he doing in the race? I'd swear I was watching topgun.

Flav: Michael ees closing in on ju
FA: I'm bringing him in closer
Flav: Ju doing wha??
FA: I'll hit the brakes, he'll fly right by
Flav: But Fernando, ju don't have no meessiles.
