He had been fastest in the 1st session, fastest in the 2nd session and was favourite for the pole. He will now start alongside Alonso in 2nd spot.
This is a two time World Champion we are talking about and he does that to his team mate to stop him.
Strategy and gamesmanship have always been part of racing but this is a different ball game.
I have always rated Alonso and supported him in arguments with other people who didn't, but not anymore.
If I were Ron Dennis the boss of McLaren I would sack him.
If I were Lewis Hamilton I would take Alonso out at the first bend but we know thiis impressive young man is way better than that.
I will be watching tomorrow's race hoping Alonso gets his come-upance.
After the time Ron Dennis has had with the Ferrari saga this is the last thing he needed.
If you didn't watch the qualifying, Ron Dennis ripped his earphones off, grabbed Alonso's personal coach and marched him down the pit lane to a 'meeting'. He was not a happy bunny.
Watch the race tomorrow it could be fireworks!!

In response to the Mark Martin tribute in the cup section marcuswb made an eye opening comment about a drivers on track actions exposing his off track actions and that is what I see here with Alonzos childish behavior .
