I dont like Alonso. I dont know why, but I think he's a smug lil prick. Schumi has style and class. Like Flite said, he went around shaking every member of his teams' hand thanking them instead of being all pissed off and being all whiny like some NASCAR driver would..heh. Hats off to him for being cool in possibly the most stressful time of his season.
I can't stand Alonso, and it's not because I don't like him taking Schumi's championship. In fact, I DO like Kimi and he's actually replacing Schumi next year. The fact that Alonso placed blame for his lackluster performance last weekend on everbody BUT himself just proved once again how unsporting he can be. When he wins it's all him, when he has a bad day, it's everybody else. Schumi showed class and respect to his entire crew in spite of what happening almost certainly being no fault of his own.
Schumi is the greatest and most sporting driver in F1 history and Schumi/Ferrari is the greatest most charismatic team in F1 history. Anyone ever notice that The German flag and Ferrari both sport the same colors? Black, Red, and Yellow.
