Re: Kovy at MacLaren
Oh, possibly... let me think...Originally posted by Bearface View PostIs there any potential for an argument about this?
How about this -
The Q&A states that it was "Conducted by McLaren's press office". Clearly McLaren are already holding the leash on Kovy. Reminds me of the way Alonso suddenly clammed up and had to be nice to them in order to get out of his contract.
For a team that seems to have kittens over maintaining its public image, they've made a bit of a hash of it this year haven't they?Comment

Re: Kovy at MacLaren
Let's face it, PR is something McLaren need to play very cautiously right now. I don't blame them for keeping things in-house, at least while Kovy gets used to how things work around there. He'll probably be relieved not to have had to think to much about what he was saying.Originally posted by JSR View Post
Alonso, however you look at it, behaved appallingly at McLaren. If, in return for an early release from his contract, McLaren got him to toe the company line a little, well I think that was perfectly fair under the circumstances.
If they had made his life even half as difficult as he made things for them, he would either be still stuck with a team he couldn't race for or possibly even taking a season's rest under contract to McLaren. As it happens, they asked very little of him in return for that release...
Undoubtedly. But we all make mistakes and something tells me that in any case, we'll never know the complete truth.Originally posted by JSR View PostComment

Re: Kovy at MacLaren
I'm certainly prepared to believe it was six of one and half-a-dozen of the other. I also wonder that if Alonso had his eyes open when signing on to McLaren, if he would never have left Renault.Originally posted by Bearface View Post
It is awfully noticeable, though, that while he was in the team he was making all kinds of accusations about the lack of equality and the way everyone was favouring Hamilton and then, as soon as he escapes from the team, suddenly he never said any such thing and everything was hunky-dorey - equality all round. Yeah, well if it really *was* that good, you wouldn't have left, would you Alonso? Pinocchio, Pinocchio...Originally posted by Bearface View Post
I just hope that we can have a little less legal sparring next year and a little more of the three-horse race (Kimi, Lewis, and Alonso) that will make the sport great again.Originally posted by Bearface View Post
...but I'm still rooting for Button!
