FIA interference

Outrageous. Why on Earth did FIA have to intervene in the Hamilton/Alonso incident? They did not affect anybody outside the McLaren team and, to my knowledge, the way a team deals with its own drivers is not the business of FIA. Besides, the only thing they did manage to do was to avoid what would otherwise have been a fantastic duel for the first position between Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.

The team supported Alonso in the justification of his delay on the pits, and Ron Dennis explained that Hamilton had to wait longer than usual because he had not followed the team instructions of allowing Alonso to overtake him during the beginning of Q3.

And denying McLaren all points from the race is completely absurd. Why? Why on Earth should McLaren be penalized with such a strong punishment? Do the guys making these decisions actually know anything about F1??

Even from 6th position in the grid Alonso made a great race and finished 4th, after harassing Nick Heidfeld for third position in a circuit where overtaking in notoriously hard. I was amazed at how cool he was about the whole incident, in contrast to his team mate Hamilton, who did not follow team orders, insulted his own boss, and now complains that "Alonso doesn't talk to him" as a little boy in kindergarten may do. Pathetic! I guess that is the difference between a two times world champion and a fantastic driver (which Hamilton is, there is no denying that) who is a spoiled brat. Go on mate, continue like this and people who respected you for your driving (as I did until Hungaroring) will shift gears and leave you alone. Let's see who sponsors you then.
