.

1987 right

[Red5StillAlive]

Yes, I can explain how awful is him with the press and some supporters. How he NEVER wants to talk with the Fans at Barcelona (where he lived and started in Karting for some years), how he dislikes to speak with the catalan TV just because.... ??? because?? he'll know. Maybe because they say what it is and not try to say what he wants.

Altought at last races in the last championship Alonso was so "cold" if you want with the spaniard press.

Then complaining against his own team!!! Which **** is this one? Is that a joke, or a REAL F1 driver and professional?

There are SOOO many things. Also just because all the nerds here in Spain (that's why I'm from Andorra lol) loves Alonso and knows "everything" about F1 since 2004. Nothing else. And one thing I dislike in life is that kind of people that doesn't know nothin' about F1 and talks to you as if you have got no idea and they got all.

I don't like that guy, that's all. It's a good enough driver (not even the best ever!!), but I don't like him.

Do you like him guys? And......that's a questionaire topic, isn't it?

[Born Racer]

how he dislikes to speak with the catalan TV just because.... ??? because??

Because the press ask inane and tedious questions? Because answering questions from them gets tiring even when they're vaguely interesting ones?

Is it his obligation to pander to TV and the fans? Can't the fans respect him for who he is and his talent at what he has chosen to do in live, being a racing driver not a TV personality?

[Knowlesy]

The irony here is that (I assume) a Mansell fan is criticising another driver of being bad with the press!

Mansell was infamously dreadful with the press!

Top driver though, very exciting, probably part of the reason I got into the sport as a whole. And that is what matters in the end.

As for Alonso, I like him a lot (from what I see). He is straight talking and very intelligent. I suspect his problems with the Spanish press are something to do with the fact they hound him all the time. I think this would make me personally very cross and irritable.

And those fans you speak of? Is that Alonso's fault?

Now, can we perhaps return to the questionnaire?

Really? Well, they pay you lots and lots of money for do your job, and that's part of your job; so......

Any driver does it, they know they have to do it. Being irritable with the fans ???? NEVER !! They loves you more than anyone should do, so.... Why are you doing that? Have you ever seen how Mansell spend hours with the fans? It's not the same man....
That people would say "who you think you are Fernando?".

For sure, another problem are the jerk people that never went to wahct F1, never known nothing about that sport but now it's cool to be an Alonso Fan, so they try to be the bests fans ever, and the ones who knows more about everything in F1. STOP THIS !!!

Now, can we perhaps return to the questionnaire?

For sure we can. I just said what I think and I did my qüestionaire, so don't ask me why we went away from it.
