Lewis Hamilton plays mind games with Fernando Alonso
Just as we approach the Japanese Grand Prix weekend, Lewis Hamilton has started mind games with Fernando Alonso claiming that the team supports him more than Alonso and that they have lesser respect for Alonso than Hamilton himself. Speaking about Fernando Alonso he said :
Since what’s gone on, they’ve realised who the real people are in the team and who they should really back,” he said.
“Fernando Alonso is definitely not the person I imagined him to be, but that’s the way it is.”"When you are in a relationship with a certain amount of people, you do the best job you can and want to show to everyone that you are the one for the team.
“In this situation, I was a rookie and he was the two-time world champion coming into the team.
“He is the one that was looked at to bring it home, but eventually I have earned more respect from them.”
He stressed that he wanted to win the title fair and square
“I want to win it the world championship fair and square. Not once have I approached the team members and asked to be favoured.
“It is just not something I have done at any team, asking for better equipment than the other driver.
“I want to win it the right way. The best feeling ever is when you know you have won and you have beaten someone as talented as he is with the exact same equipment and exactly the same opportunity.”

Alonso is the real iceman, not Kimi, he is showing how cold he can be and is firing back to McLaren and to Hamilton with indifference, which is an outstanding and very mature reaction, I am shock how good he can play the childish despicable behavior from Ron Liar Dennis and wining Lewis Hamilton.
Alonso should be at the moment leading the WC, but Ron Dennis in Hungary burn him down in order to avoid a sanction from the FIA, he hold him in the pits to give a lesson to Hamilton and at the end Alonso got screwed and Ron coward Dennis did not have the guts to come forward properly and defend Alonso, instead he shut up in order to avoid punishment from the FIA. First he tell to the press Alonso just follow orders, them he shut up in front of the FIA. That was quite low and now addressing the press that Alonso is not talking to him is just more stupid and childish, just trying to divert the press from the fact that McLaren is a rotten apple and that they have been caught spying Ferrari, now they are trying to blame Alonso for coming forward with two required emails, that is to laugh!. And the ignorant fellows buy it, bad for them, the important thing is that Alonso does not give a damn about what Ron Dennis, Lewis Hamilton or yourself reading this post think or write, he just care about he should care, race and get his third world champion title, and he have done it in worst conditions, so the tension will not be the issue, it will be his experience and the luck the engine will do just fine, the rest is just not important.
