can be read from today something interesting, apparently derived from the biography of Bernie Ecclestone: "No Angel: The Secret Life of Bernie Ecclestone."
Salt of this story lies in a passage in the vicinity of the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix. Grand Prix back in history for his qualifications, where Fernando Alonso had deliberately blocked his teammate Lewis Hamilton in the booth. We remember the result, penalty of five grid positions for English and withdrawal points on the McLaren team this weekend. All this in addition to the notorious history of espionage. Not for espionage, which has always existed in F1, but for his tragi-comic dimension.
What we learned more today, and all that remains conditional, is that Fernando Alonso had asked Dennis to sabotage the car of Hamilton, asking him before the race not to put enough gas in the car of his teammate during the final stop order that Lewis Hamilton will finish the race, for the sake of revenge.
If one can question the veracity of this information, several things challenge. Firstly, why Ecclestone lie? There is no real interest. The other thing, why be it almost four years after the fact? We think it could be an attempt to create a little animosity between the two pilots hardened characters. After all, a little ego seems to lack fight to please the journos in lack of sensationalism. As a possible fight on and off the track might give pleasure to Bernie. After all, would this not a good way to prepare for the return to years turbo? Try the old recipe of this fighting antagonists in the era of economic globalization in the first F1 would be a good way to boost business in the years to come.
Meanwhile, critics of Fernando Alonso will be rubbing their hands, seeing once again dipped into a pseudo-scandal in F1 in recent years.
