I think it's just about time for a break from this thread
They wont, most of my gripes with Alonso have been exactly that.
I know is inherently Ferrari's fault, but when people come and say "the car didn't perform well, Alonso was better, bla bla bla", it kinda sucks, specially for Massa as his talent go unacknowledged. Alonso did not perform as he was asked and expected to, people saw him as a strong contender for the title, yet he never showed such skills, even with a car that was indeed competitive (Massa clearly showed us that over the last few races).
Get real. Even Massa's performance wasn't nearly enough to match the Mclaren's or Red Bull's on pure pace. So on what basis could you expect Alonso in the Ferrari to legitmately have the pace to contend for the Championship??
And I agree, Webber was all over the place in Interlagos, he was having a Strong race in Austin until he had to retire, but despite this, is nice to see that at least Red Bull/McLaren let their drivers compete with each other, at some point Interlagos Webber let Vettel pass blatantly, but they still let them compete with each other when the situation comes, just as McLaren would, and both of them don't let the First driver-second driver gap go too far, which is pretty good for both drivers morale. Ferrari on the other hand ...
So, which one is it.... "Webber let Vettel pass blatantly" or "they still let them compete with each other when the situation comes"
And yea, Webber was all over the place in Interlagos yet he still beat Vettel in the race. Yet Alonso really failed as a Championship contender for being slightly slower than Massa in maybe 3-4 races over the 20 race season?? Do you not realize how often Vettel got out performed by his team mate as well?
, and both of them don't let the First driver-second driver gap go too far, which is pretty good for both drivers morale. Ferrari on the other hand ...
It's always Ferrari/Alonso's fault isn't?
Massa's lucky to even have a seat at Ferrari at the moment, given his overall performance over the past 3 years.
I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make, of course we're going to use the media regarding that point, that was his entire point, Ferrari or Fernando will not publicly state that Massa was the better driver in the last two races.
Nice try, but no, that was never previously said nor legitmately implied by either you or avens. I suggest you look up the word "acknowledgment" ... because it can shown in a very broad way. The whole world doesn't need to be notified for it to be considered acknowledgment. In my eyes, it would be more important to acknowledge his superior performance from a man to man conversation (ex. from Luca D. to Massa).
With that said (yes I'm drifting off a bit here), I find it funny that Ferrari gets called out for not publicly acknowledging Felipe's superior performance over the past 2 races or so...I think it's a simply a case of people wanting to see it spread in Alonso's face for their satisfaction...that's all.
Whether he or you thinks they should is irrelevant and of course technically that statement can't be a fact until the end of eternity, there is always time for them to admit it. But he doesn't think they will. Simple as that
But again I'm still not really sure why you decided to pick up on that comment in the first place.
Because it's a statement that's nearly impossible to prove...so why the F say something that questions their integrity, when there isn't a legitimate leg to stand on!?
All it is is the usual anti-Ferrari troll bate 👎
