Evidence: McLaren won in Hungary, but I wasn't happy, I was murderous with anger at Hamilton for his insolence that cost Alonso a rightful win and the team MILLIONS in WCC points. Not to mention add to the stink already slathering McLaren for CoughneyGate...

I'm also mutinous over Ron Dennis' handling over CoughneyGate and how he's dealing with Alonso/Hamilton. If I was RD, I'd have suspended Hamilton from driving in Turkey for insubordination, and named Alonso the #1 driver for the remainder of the season to hammer-home the point. Hamilton has USED his ties to Dennis to get favorable treatment, and I now reckon that Fernando is right in thinking he's getting screwed.

So generally, I'm depressed about McLaren in particular, and F1 in general. Ferrari can say what they like and make it stick, get away with cheating because they're good at it, and besmirch the reputation of another team on complete hearsay because the other team can't get their shit together, and plays directly into the opposition's mud-slinging PR campaign.

After a decade of loss, this was supposed to be a re-emergence of the Wokking crew. Instead, pfffft.

Next year? I dunno. Alonso, should he get his release, won't be driving for anyone. He's under contract to McLaren through 2008, and Ron Dennis isn't about to let the best driver in F1 go to BMW and compete against him -- for all the buy-out money in the world. I reckon it's better to have this camel pissing out of the tent than in it.

*sigh*
