hmmm.. here's the latest news fm our fren alonso (well, its a few days old but thought i'd comment on it anyway):
MADRID, Spain (AP) - Fernando Alonso criticized rival Michael Schumacher, saying the German racer is the "most unsporting driver" in Formula One history.
Alonso's harsh comments to Spanish radio station Marca on Monday night came one day after Schumacher won the Italian Grand Prix and announced that he will retire at the end of the season. The Ferrari driver moved to within two points of Alonso in the championship standings.
"Michael is the man with the most sanctions and the most unsporting driver in the history of Formula One," Alonso said.
He also compared him to Zinedine Zidane, the France soccer captain who retired after being sent off for a head-butt in July's World Cup final.
"Zidane retired with more glory than Schumacher, but I can still see that he has been the fastest driver for the last 10 years, and racing against him has been an honour," he said.
"That doesn't take away from the fact that he has been the best driver and it has been an honour and pleasure to battle against him. Everyone has their time and you have to respect his decision. Things will be more equal now."
Alonso also hinted that the championship had been fixed in favour of Schumacher.
On Sunday, he had his race stopped when his engine failed 10 laps from the end. Alonso was penalized five places on the starting grid for blocking Ferrari's Felipe Massa in qualifying Saturday and started 10th.
"No one is going to believe the penalty I was given for a long time to come," Alonso said.
"The excuse they gave was far from honest. That the Italian newspapers headlined this as a robbery is not good for our sport. One thing I am clear about, though, is that he who laughs last, laughs longest," Alonso said.
Meanwhile, Alonso will miss testing in Jerez, Spain, this week due to a bruised knee.
"I banged my knee on the side of the chassis during practice in Monza and there is some bruising," he said in a Renault statement. "I raced with the problem at the weekend, but we took the decision not to test this week to let it recover in the best way possible."
Alonso said he is "very optimistic" he will beat Schumacher for the title.
"The Renault has been very, very quick in the last three races, nearly as quick as Ferrari or even faster," he said. "So for the last three races I think we should be the favourites."
