What can I say?
Fernando Alonso scored his second consecutive victory in Sunday’s Japanese GP. Winning a single race this season seemed inconceivable even to him just a few short months ago. The Renault R28 chassis has been disappointing and the RS27 engine is lagging 20hp behind other cars on the grid and yet Fernando can still win. And in style. He bunny-hopped Kubica during the first round of pit stops, stayed out in front and controlled the race comfortably. He was never really threatened. And take a look at the guys lap times. He’s like a metronome. He’s so consistent. Flawless. Anyone misguided enough to believe Fernando Alonso isn’t everything he’s cracked up to be is SADLY mistaken.
Alonso is by far and away the most complete package in F1. Even early this year when he stepped back into a Renault which everyone knew wasn’t competitive enough to make him a serious title contender he had the eye of the tiger. He’s more passionate about F1 and racing than most other drivers are in their rookie season… and that’s why he’ll be World Champion again. He’s still as hungry as ever for it! He may behave like a prat sometimes but you’ve gotta love that fiery passion. 2008 may be all wrapped up for Fernando but what does the 2009 season hold in store? I can’t wait to find out!!
PS – The early report is for rain on Sunday in China!!! And we know how Massa enjoys the rain… not. Remember Silverstone?
