Have to say that I think Alonso seems to have improved in his attitude to a few seasons ago, maybe im missing the attitude that was made more apparent before, but he doesnt seem to bad as before and i never particularly liked him because of the attitude but he does seem better now.
As for Mclaren, this season they hired Sam Michaels to improve their trackside operations... would it be safe to assume hes failing... miserably!! I'd also question how safe martin whitmarsh's position is as well, as they are not doing a good job at all when it comes to strategy, pitstops and generally giving the drivers the best opportunity possible.
May as well bring up the contracts and silly season time... i would love to see lewis go elsewhere to see how he stacks up as i dont think mclaren are much cop anymore, yes they seem to develop a car reasonably well, but they're not the best at making progress and not good at stringing a good weekend together either. As to where i'd like to see him go... i dont know really and the more you think about it, the more it looks like there isnt really an alternative, even tho seats will be available, i just cant see him paired up with the possibilities that would come with it
