It is slightly discouraging to see Fernando Alonso’s ill-fated year at McLaren still being dredged up from time to time. The way Fernando acted at McLaren was not right. But people do change and one can easily argue Alonso has done just that. Whether or not he would react well to having Vettel in the garage space next to his is a different matter, and probably academic. Clearly Alonso now has better conditions for him to be at ease with his team situation, being the clear #1 to Felipe Massa at Ferrari, which is certainly not the situation he faced when paired alongside a British Lewis Hamilton during his sensational F1 debut with a British team that had been nurturing him for many years. Certainly Fernando did not handle himself well in 2007 at McLaren. But in this writer’s opinion, those who condemn Alonso for the way he behaved himself 7 seasons ago are saying as much about themselves as they are about Alonso.
