Zitat von RagingjamaicanBecause they've had enough of his constant snide remarks?
I agree with this.
The team dynamic was a little different when Alonso first signed. He almost won them a championship in 2010 and 2012 with an inferior car. I believe what you are starting to see in terms of team dynamic is the "honeymoon phase" is starting to wear off. In my opinion, part of this is due to mistakes Alonso has made. For example: Suzuka 2012 or Malaysia 2013. These were costly errors. Especially Suzuka. Mathematically speaking, he could have won the title if it wasn't for his run in with Raikkonen. In addition, I don't think he is the brilliant qualifier that some make him out to be. If I had to compare him to any driver on the grid right now: it would be Raikkonen. It's fair to question if they get everything out of the car on Saturday, but I don't think you can ask for much more on Sunday. Alonso, like any other driver on the grid, has his faults. And the honeymoon phase is slowly wearing off. It should be interesting to see how this saga plays out. Especially if Ferrari can't find more pace for their car in the second half of the season
First Alonso didn't win the DWC with Ferrari while Kimi was away. Then Kimi came back to F1. Then he got a decent car and a great team where he gained his reputation of being a top driver back. Then Kimi started to win races again. Then almost everybody who dared to talk bad about Kimi in 2009, retracted themselves. Then top teams started to fight over him Even Ferrari admits they had it all wrong about Kimi And now they are starting to finally see what Alonso is really like...
AM I DREAMING!
The cherry on top would be watching Kimi win the WDC with Lotus " title="pray" /> " title="dreamy" /> " title="stars" />

Zitat von Olgaso, who is Alonso's manager? still Briatore or the other guy??
Luis Garcia Abad is Alonso manager, but Briatore will receive 30% of Alonso salary. Adrian Campos receive 10%. If I'm not mistaken, the fees goes to the success of terms duo Briatore and Campos.

Kurski: is it fair to say that Luis Garcia Abad is Alonso's "acting manager" in the paddock?
All of the news sites (autosport, etc..) reported Mr Abad as Alonso's manager.
I personally don't think it's ideal for Flavio to be seen in the paddock..
Zitat August 27, 2013 · 3:02 pm ↓ Allison a great asset for Ferrari, says Fry
Ferrari engineering director Pat Fry says that the arrival of James Allison at Maranello will allow him to focus more on improving the performance of the F138.
Former Lotus man Allison, who officially starts work next week, will have Fry’s former job title of technical director (chassis). This will be his second spell at the team after he worked under Ross Brawn from 2000 to 2005.
“I think getting James on board will be a great asset for us really, I mean he’s a top bloke, isn’t he?,” said Fry when asked by this writer about the change in his workload. “In reality there’s been a huge amount of work for me to do. It’s almost like changing the organisation and the running of the company, as well as trying to look at the car.
“For me it’s good because I’ll have more time to be able to concentrate on really what’s going to make the car quick. Between the two of us we’ll divide the work up. There will be more minds thinking about things, so it can only help.”
Meanwhile Fry made an interesting comment about balancing preparations for 2014 with developing the current car.
“We’re still pushing as hard as we can. We’ve got updates coming through from the tunnel, a few more for Monza and another set for Singapore. So we’ll keep on pushing until Singapore, and then see where we are and revise things then.”
" title="ha" /> apart from the jokes now: honestly not!
its ok with me because i think that Kimi knows very well what he'll have to face if he goes and i trust his feeling. i think that Allison knows now how mature and reliable Kimi is! and i do think that ferrari knows by now how annoying Nando is!
as for my very personal feeling: i like this challenge: meeting your "enemy", measuring your strength against his. getting over your inner fears...
