Ja Schaissenjauhantaa sen kuin jatkuu. Mr Epäurheilijamaisuus uskaltaa päätellä, että tiimissä on täysi keskittyminen päällä kaiken tapahtuneen jälkeen. Olisikohan tuo viesti oikeasti vakuuttava, jos sen sanoisi esimerkiksi Massa, jota epäoikeudenmukaisuus on kohdannut, eikä valtakunnan suurin valehtelija ja oman edun tavoittelija?
'Alonso: Row hasn't diverted Ferrari focus
Thursday, 29 July 2010 18:20
Fernando Alonso says Ferrari has not been distracted by the ongoing team orders controversy and is instead fully focussed on ensuring it keeps the performance momentum up from its Hockenheim 1-2 in Hungary.
The Italian squad has been in the centre of a media storm since Felipe Massa moved aside to let Alonso win last Sunday’s race and has faced a barrage of criticism from drivers and team principals at rival squads for clearly breaking the team orders regulations.
Alonso remained largely tight-lipped about the incident in his pre-race press briefing at the Hungaroring on Thursday, simply insisting that both he and the team were only thinking about how to perform strongly this weekend after its resounding display in Germany.
“Hungary is our main target now,” he told reporters.
“We are Thursday in a grand prix so our main focus [is this weekend].
“Our head is completely concentrated on this weekend’s job
“So [there has] not really [been] any loss of concentration in anything.”
Although Ferrari has continued to insist that Massa didn’t receive any order to cede the lead to the sister Ferrari in Germany and simply took matters into his own hands after being told Alonso was faster, the switch of its position has led to suggestions that Alonso is the team’s number one driver for the remainder of the season as he pushes for the title.
Asked on Thursday if he thought he was at an advantage compared to his chief title rivals at other teams because he now appeared to be the only one with a supporting team-mate, Alonso rubbished the suggestion he is Ferrari’s top dog – insisting both drivers drive in the team’s interests and it was time to move on and look ahead.
“I think there is not a number one, number two driver,” Alonso claimed.
“It is more about respect of each other, respect of racing for Scuderia, which means a lot.
“I think we are happy with the performance of the car in the last couple of races. In Germany finally it was the point that we arrived with both cars at the chequered flag we scored points.
“But also in Silverstone and Valencia the car was good so our aim here is to continue in this line.
“The talks, or the no talks, I think is the past and we will not have nothing to say anymore. We all said everything in Germany, and our president [Montezemolo] as well.”
The former two-time world champion also brushed off the criticism he and the team had received in wake of Sunday’s race.
“As I said, nothing really to say about any thing, or any polemic or any opinion of any one,” Alonso added.
“Many opinions, many things have been said in the last couple of days. The only important thing for us is the car is competitive and we can do well here in Hungary as well.
“What is the opinion of everybody, of some of the drivers or team principals or whatever – is their opinion. We respect everything, but we concentrate on our job.”
Ferrari’s apparent team orders in Hockenheim was punished by a $100,000 fine by race stewards in Germany, while the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council has also been asked to investigate the incident further.
Alonso said any further disciplinary action was outside both of his and Massa’s control, therefore they had to simply focus on continuing to perform strongly on track.
“I think we will see,” he said when asked about the spectre of further punishment from the WMSC.
“As I said, drivers now need to concentrate in driving. We have a very interesting grand prix in front of us now in Hungary.
“We have some good possibilities of doing a good performance so anything that happens in the future or [at] the World Motor Sport Council is something that is not in our hands.”
