Alonso behaved like an arrogant a$$

Did you catch the Spanish Grand Prix last weekend? We always knew that Fernando Alonso wanted to win the home GP real bad, especially after being level on points with his rookie team-mate after three races. And he did start the race aggressively.

The start saw Alonso tucking into Massa's slipstream to gain a lot of momentum down the straight and go around the outside to overtake Massa. Had he given Massa enough space to drive, it would have been a great racing move and a lovely overtake. Instead Alonso, despite being on the outside for the overtaking manouver, almost had his wheels on the inside curb when he was level with Massa at the corner. Massa, from my point of view, had no place to go.

So the cars touched and Alonso spent a couple of seconds in the gravel thereby missing a couple of places to rejoion 4th. Kimi would later drop off (they say mechanical failure, but I think he's a retard and extremely over-rated. He's the single biggest reason I don't call myself a Tifosi anymore) and Alonso would come home in third place, behind his rookie team-mate Hamilton, who now incidentally leads the Championship in terms of points. He is the first rookie since Bruce McLaren (the founder of the team for which Lewis now drives for). Super cool!

But coming back to Alonso...He blamed Massa for being too aggressive in the first corner and for the contact that sent him through the gravel track. And this is where I have a problem with Alonso. He might be a two time World Champion, but he still complains like a sissy.

It's never his fault. It's either his team screwing him up or his setup was not right or someone else hosed him. It's never him. But this time, it was clearly him. HE was the one being too aggressive on the first corner, HE was responsible for the contact, HE paid the price for the move, HE deserved it. HE is just a sore loser.

So Massa has back to back victories. His season so far is: a mechanical failure making him start at the end of the grid, a mistake trying to overtake Hamilton which screwed up his race and two victories. I think he is a better candidate this season for the championship, definately a better prospect than the Retard. Ferrari would have done better signing someone like Webber than they have with Kimi. He's just a LooHooZuHer with a capital L.

But Alonso sucked in the last race. But at least there was some entertainment in the race thanks to the start.
