Look who’s spat his dummy out again…
Thursday 21st February, 2008 | 4:09 pmI know Fernando Alonso often complains he’s quoted out of context, but on the issue of the racism shown towards Lewis Hamilton during testing in Spain he responded with (BBC Sport):
“It was an isolated incident and the FIA or anyone saying that the Spanish fans are racists is laughable.
“Last year, they called me a dog in a few races. Niki Lauda said those things about me, and no-one came to me to show me their support.”
Think someone needs to explain to him the different between ‘racism’ and ‘criticism’. He was probably called a dog due to the fact he had some terrible races. Sure, he looks a bit rough, but I doubt anyone was insinuating he’s actually a dog. Christijan Albers and Sakon Yamamoto were regularly called worse, again, because they were driving badly. For someone paid millions of dollars per race, you’d think he’d be able to take a bit of criticism and maybe learn from it - I mean, it’s not like Lauda has ever done anything in Formula 1 so might know what he’s talking about, is it…?
Still, here’s hoping Renault make a balls of a car like last season
