According to teletext Ron says if Alonso can't race with equal parity with Hammy then he's free to go. After having time to think about it
I'm not so sure Hammy's blameless over the weekend debacle. Alonso's pride is hurt by the young gun who's talent is there for
all to see. However the more experienced man needs to get his head down and do the business and prove he's the man.
When Prost was at McLaren exactly the same thing happened Senna acted the spoilt brat and Prost lowered himself to Senna's level.
The first shots in this war were fired by Alonso a couple of months back, but through taking the bait Hamilton is now in a situation where he has to
win the world championship or become unemployable.
Alonso is only slightly more employable, but I can think of at least four names that would do as good a job for Ron, what price a driver swap with
BMW.
Personally I would love to see Button or Webber or Kubica in a McLaren.
My bet is Alonso will go, Ron sights are on the championships within the next month he has to back one driver or the drivers championship will slip
from his grasp. Alonso is great but Hamilton is already great and has more to come.
Meanwhile behind closed motorhome doors I am will to bet the Ferrari drivers are equally at war, neither has exactly shone consistently. Perhaps it is
symptom of Ferrari's current internal politics that red cars are usually widely separated on the grid and in the race.

Frank Williams would have sacked Hamilton for doing that. He has had no second thoughts about getting rid of world champions; he's done it
twice.
Besides, Kubica is better than Hamilton.

Now your talking all. All of these drivers in equall machinery would be an amazing spectacle. Although as seen on Sunday the dirty air scenario really
mucks things up. It's a pity that there is not a way of overcoming this cause it'd improve the veiwing figures dramatically IMHO.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Maybe I'm missing something but here's what I'd do to improve the racing:
1. Go back to slick tyres
2. Reduce wing sizes by perhaps 50%
3. Keep the rev limit at 19k but give them an overtake button which can be pressed once per lap which extends the rev limit to something like
21-22k.
4. No refuelling during race.
5. Tyre replacements during race allowed but any excessive wear (use coloured wear limit for visual indication) will result in penalties and perhaps
DQ.
Top speeds might get a bit high with the reduced wing but this can be addressed with a reduction in power if necessary. The main aim should be to
reduce the dependency on downforce and increase mechanical grip.
Just my 2p worth.
Cheers,
Craig.
