Felipe Massa never seemed like a crack at the wheel is no secret to regular ground effect. I always liked to call Hello, my name is Manuel Franco and I'm the new special envoy to AS Formula 1 Grand Prix. I also can listen to the SER, the bar and in Formula SER. I hope your participation in this new adventure. Even with the unexpected surprise of a title that flew to a blue car and vanished behind another Russian firm yellow tea, I read your opinions about what happened. I feel tired after this test of things to come, but the holidays are still only a wish and the horizon is the desert of Dakar, air to my lungs once so close … But I read and reread what you think some or most of them and discover what I feared, which for me is a mystery why there is no unanimity with Fernando Alonso in Spain? Where did that term come Alonso and damn they call even more, what are antialonsistas? The truth is that the Spaniard is one of those athletes who appear from time to time to cheer a sport, to make a minority sport until yesterday as Formula 1, but with a significant base, ie was not fertile, there was a important fertilizer that the arrival of double world champion has been commissioned to grow to unsuspected limits. Alonso is a pioneer, as it was Santana and Angel Nieto and certainly on that list of great Spanish genius, in that small club in which they are candidates for the title of best Spanish sportsman in history. However, often, her figure is compromised, and to no disputed by some who do not believe that their ability or talent worthy of such praise. Why? Is it still a valid argument from the words of gratitude after his first title? You know what your grandmother, sister and all that. Do not know. It is true that Fernando is usually at least it once was, a person who speaks his mind and brings sincerity to the extreme. Then there is the distorted view of reality, it always blames others, is that when something bad is never your fault, is that when he always wins … Well, it's true that you may have distorted the design your own football helmet message, but there sometimes and intone in mea culpa, the journalists have done their words are ours, or so it has been perceived public opinion. But back to the initial premise, and let be as Alonso, a character who must know and that is something few can say, back to the question. Is Fernando Alonso the best driver in the world? I came to my mind make this post because there are different opinions. And some journalists are, we, reproaches us to think that yes, he is the best driver today. Contrary to the affirmative answer are those who say it takes four years without winning anything, that Hamilton could with him in his first year, that will not bear the presence of a teammate as strong as he, who has lost aggressiveness or the new and Hamilton and Vettel are gaining ground. And of course, is the argument that it knows how to behave like a champion off the track. The gesture towards Petrov after the race in Abu Dhabi or the words of Vettel in acknowledging that he had not received the congratulations of the Spanish come to support this thesis. Or the behavior that was at McLaren (story English) when he was able to involve your team in an espionage case, which, moreover, was guilty. But above all, in terms of driving, you are missing check-outs before, these overtaking impossible …. First things first, and this (remember all is personal opinion, nothing to do with the chronic or news that you can make paper in the paper) I think that Alonso McLaren was wrong, I try to start to Hamilton and the partner should be and realized later that it was growing at a shark. Then it was too late. And Dennis and his family supported his little star set against the Spanish champions. In that year I was disappointed that the British could not advance in Indianapolis, at the end of the line of the oval. It is also true that the outputs are not what they were, but what is true is that the system was ripped from Renault Fernando extraordinary and then put the rest to reach the brake. Now, however, misses a Button with the title at stake. This year has made some major errors is also true, that happens all the drivers, too, but this is Alonso and must demand better always as such. Little more to add against a pilot who is usually very good in the hand of those who think that Alonso is not the best driver, is also important the presence of rivals. Hamilton, Vettel, Button, Webber, Schumcher, even … the truth is that the timing is extraordinary in the F-1, next year there will be five world champions and a total of twelve title. In that context, where it develops the careers of our protagonist. Schumacher, for example, had to face champions like these and as a driver came to its height caused his withdrawal. And, and this is again my opinion, if Alonso is the best, Vettel and Hamilton are close in terms of pure talent. Now for the opinion in favor, we will try to explain why Alonso is best driver in the world but not the champion this year. There are several objective reasons on which to build, the first is that, excluding Schumacher is the best record is in terms of titles and victories, that his fellow pilots elected him last year as the best, people like Ross Brawn, for example, have said so or that it is the only rider currently able to leave McLaren and be signed by Ferrari. There are other little questionable, Alonso is the best because he always delivers more than it is able to take the car, because this year has been able to reach the final fight with a car that is the third in constructors, because in every race which has been competitive F10 won (Monza, Germany), he has won major awards in his car was not the fastest (pole, fastest lap and victory in Singapore, the route over pilot present together Monaco), he has done prodigious advancements like Interlagos to Hulkenberg, because he has a charisma capable of joining a team and restore past glories and, above all, because it can gather more than eight million Spanish watching TV to see if the world champion.
