The backlash against the Hamilton-Alonso feud got very bitter in the three-week break following the Hungarian Grand Prix – and it’s the subject of today’s Post of the Week.
Also in the F1 blogs: the cost of F1, the cost of missing your braking point at Spa, and a Michael Schumacher you can lick. Yes, really.
F1Fanatic’s Post of the Week
As one of the most visible F1 bloggers (and journalists) The Times’s Ed Gorman has taken a lot of flak for his paper’s coverage of the Lewis Hamilton vs Fernando Alonso saga. I think he spoke for a lot of people when he wrote:
“I am taking a view and I always will. At the Hungaroring for example, my view was that Fernando’s retaliation was the far bigger of the two evils committed that day by the two McLaren drivers and was rightly punished in the way it was by the stewards. That’s the way I saw it and I still do see it that way. This is not the result of some feverish pro-Hamilton illness.”
