I used to be an Alonso fan...the way he used to hustle the understeering Renault that he drove to win the DWCs was impressive.
But then more recently at McLaren he acted like a complete douche slamming the Honda PU at every opportunity. Which is why Honda will no longer have anything to do with him.
Its hard to comprehend...smart enough to understand the complexities of F1 race cars but stupid enough to think that criticising/shaming your teams engine supplier in public is a good strategy.
Equally Red Bull and Verstappen when they used to slag off the Renault engine.
Even if Renault are forced to supply Red Bull with engines in the future they will only do so very reluctantly....and will not be especially accommodating.
