"And it's civil war down at the McLaren garage..."

Lewis Hamilton. Let's be fair, it's great. A rookie coming into such a competitive sport and soaring to the top of the championship table. But Alonso is just being really unprofessional about it. And it's pathetic. The look on his face when Lewis won at Indianapolis. He walked out onto the podium all matey with him, but I'm sure he was thinking something else. According to ITV, the different sides of the garage don't even share race strategy. So perhaps it's not just Alonso. And yes, the media blew the things he said out of proportion. But still, Alonso should know better. Let's think here. Fisichella one only one race when Alonso was at Renault last year. Fernando went on to win the title. Lewis has won two races now, so perhaps coming second isn't something Alonso is used to. But with the incredible pace shown by Hamilton so far, he should get used to it. And as for his gesture to the pit wall on Sunday, he was being childish. Perhaps he can't handle the fact that a rookie is beating him. I think Lewis won the last two races fair and square, and this media hype over Alonso's alleged 'Preferential Treatment' is way off. Lewis has been at McLaren for longer than Alonso has, the team know him and can communicate better with him (Not saying Alonso's English is bad, or saying that there is racial prejudice inside the McLaren team. It's just logic). Sometimes, it's just stupid. Alonso should grow up and act his age. He's current world champion, he should get out there and beat Hamilton. And if he can't, perhaps he's lost his edge...

Allegedly, they've all resolved it now (according to the papers). Hamilton has been better than Alonso so far. And as you say, he should just beat Hamilton on the track, if he can.
