The Alonso turnaround

Just a week ago, Fernando Alonso was claiming that Ferrari's win at Imola was a one-off. Through the Nurburgring weekend, he was forced to gradually revise that opinion until yesterday, he finally said this :

"I think it's not a surprise that Ferrari are fighting. I expect McLaren will arrive also. Honda are really strong in some races, so nothing changes from the beginning of the championship. There are four teams, sometimes one is quicker, sometimes another one is slower, but all four teams are strong and ready to fight."

But he just spoiled it for himself with this last comment :

"Michelin has been in a dominant position in Barcelona.. I think in the next two races Michelin will be stronger than Bridgestone. "

He perhaps needs to be reminded that out of the last 5 races at Barcelona, 4 were won by Michael on Bridgestone tyres.

He may or may not win this years WDC, but he is surely on target for the Foot-in-the-mouth award.
