Rivalry in F1
Fernando Alonso's jealousy of rookie teamate Lewis Hamilton
Reigning two time world champion F1 driver Fernando Alonso's jealously over rookie teamate Lewis Hamilton is sky high. Hamilton leads 14 points clear in the drivers championship over Alonso. Although Alonso claims that he should and shall beat Lewis Hamilton to the drivers champion title. Fernando Alonso started the French grand prix at Magny Cours in 10th place due to gear box problems in qualifying. Hamilton started in 2nd place. Alonso then managed to gain speed and moved ahead of Nick Heidfield (BMW Sauber) but then fell behing again. Hamilton finished in 3rd place compared to Alonso's 7th. Therefore increasing the gap between them. Alonso's main rivalry other than Lewis Hamilton are none other than Felipe massa (Brazil) and Kimi Raikkonen (Finland) of Ferrari. Who came 1st and 2nd at Magny Cours. Although Alonso see's them as no threat. Alonso's claims that Mclaren would prefer for a Hamilton victory at Silverstone is among another one of his claims that Mclaren prefer Hamilton over him. These childish remarks do him no favour whatsoever as he is sounding bitter and twisted. " I am convinced the 14 point difference will disappear and to be able to reduce the deficit in his... (Lewis Hamilton)...home country would give me a morale boost". In any case whether Alonso or Hamilton win they will still bring necessary points to the comstructors chapionship.
