L. Hamilton: “Fernando, are you crazy?” 

Young rookie driver replies to teammate’s accusations on presumed favoritisms in McLaren’s team: “We are friends, i don’t understand. Perhaps he’s saying those things because he didn’t expect i could race well from the beginning”. “Alonso’s statements surprised me a lot, i can’t agree with what he said”..”perhaps he thought that being my first year in Formula One, i couldn’t manage to race well immediately. Perhaps we have a different feeling and sensibility, given the fact he’s Spanish and i am British: Fernando won Formula One’s Championship in the last 2 years, he didn’t had big difficulties, ok, he had rivals for sure, but never one so close in the same team, and he never had one that outside of the track is a good friend. It’s strange he said such things.”
