An Example of Why I Can't Stand Alonso....

From Joe Saward's Grand Prix Blog...

"...Alonso might have been wiser to wave congratulations at Petrov for a job well done, but instead he gesticulated rudely, which did nothing for his reputation as a good sportsman."

Petrov did nothing wrong, he was racing for position (and a job). He couldn't care less that Alonso needed to get past him to win the championship. Did Alonso think that because of his history with Renault that they should pull over and let him by? Probably.
