...Mr Lauda's been having another rant about my favourite driver, Fernando Alonso. To be perfectly honest though, although it's slightly OTT in parts, his little speech does make a degree of sense 
Alonso has thrown his toys out of the pram several times this season, and that's just during the races themselves. The negative PR he's generated (although he's prone to opening his mouth and doing plenty of damage before back-pedalling at subsequent press conferences...) has been considerable, and his direct involvement in McLaren's recent punishment at the hands of the FIA casts even more doubt over his sportsmanship and integrity. I can't believe he's been allowed to get away with it, but I guess these things have a way of smouldering in the ashes and then re-igniting when you least expect them to...
