He was happy enough to benefit from the McLaren cheating earlier this seasonQuote:

Alonso has said today that he wants McLaren to lose their appeal as Kimi is the proper Champion, it seems like Alonso is going out of his way to be fired at this stage!!Quote:

Rosberg then tried to pass Kubica later as well.
And succeeded.Quote:

Alonso back to Renault. Going to be an open championship next year. Three drivers with a realistic chance of winning it. Raikkonen, Alonso and Hamilton. Ferrari will probably get constructors as I see Massa being a stronger number two then McLaren's or Renault's.
Will Renault realistically have a championship quality car next year?Quote:

If Renault build a winning car Alonso may win the driver's crown, but I don't think Piquet will be good enough to help them to the constructors' title, at least not in his first season.Quote:
