Alonso made an incredibly stupid move to go to Renault. Because of his move, he's failed over the last 2 seasons. He should have just put his differences aside with Hamilton and stayed at Mclaren.
Agreed. I see how it was hard for him though. If I were world champ I'd want first preference if my teammate were a rookie.
I think we all underated Button when he was at Honda.. I thought he was a poor driver but it wasn't him.. it was Honda putting him in a terrible car.
I thought of him as a good driver after 03 or maybe 04 when he came 3rd in the championship in the Honda and then Honda just fell apart. Hungary 06 showed us another glimpse of his ability though. I think he'll still win the championship but the Red Bulls with be close behind. Next year when Ferrari and Mcclaren have hopefully sorted themselves out, it could be harder. I think he'll grab one or two wins next year and will finish about 3rd or 4th in the championship.
I think F1 has been in a complete state this year.. so much mess with all the companies threatening to leave etc.
It has been for a few years, Spygate, The Diffusers etc.
