F1 and MotoGP on FOX and CBS this Sunday!
I think the true test of Alonso will be how he responds to Hamilton's abilities. Lewis looks like he might have the kind of talent that would demoralise any team mate. 4 offs at the same corner this weekend raised some doubt about how Fernando will cope with a mega-rookie team-mate ...we'll see as the season progresses.
Your still a Damn Tifosi
Agreed.

Alonso not 100% comfortable at McLaren
Tuesday, 12, June, 2007, 12:33
Fernando Alonso has revealed that he has not felt truly comfortable at McLaren since joining the Woking squad last winter.
Although he has won two races this season, the double world champion unexpectedly trails his rookie team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the points standings and has made an uncharacteristic number of driving errors.
In an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, Alonso admitted that he is finding it hard having a British team-mate in a British team – but said he had never expected it to be an easy situation.
“From the first moment, I wasn’t comfortable with everything,” he said.
“I'm in an English team, with an English team-mate who is doing a brilliant job.
"We knew that all the support and help would be going to him.
“I understood that from the start and I’m not complaining about it.”
The British media has hailed Hamilton as F1's new superstar and tended to overlook Alonso, but the Spaniard is philosophical about the hype.
"I am indifferent to it," he said.
"We know how they are and luckily the Spanish press have a little more respect than the English do."
Despite his misgivings, Alonso remains confident that his title chances are still good.
“I’m relaxed,” he said.
“I’m fine, though I know there is some impatience [due to] the way I arrived and how I am expected to dominate.
“I’m where I want to be and I have a clear chance of winning the title, which is what we want.”

He does sound like he's starting to whine and make excuses. We'll see if it continues when Hamilton beats him a few more times.
Alonso saying that Hamilton has more support from the team because he's English strikes me as being a cop-out for Alonso's poor driving at Canada. If he had a good first corner and won the race I'm sure Alonso wouldn't be saying those things.
