I agree - I think things that Alonso has done and said have been manipulated by the media here to make his behaviour seem worse than it was, but he's done a pretty good job of making himself look bad without any help from the media. The average motorsport fan isn't hyping up Hamilton to be some kind of demi-God, they're just recognising his talent, and that goes for British motorsport fans as well.
I think Alonso's behaviour has been disappointing this season - some of it has been overexaggerated, but things like the incident in the pits in Hungary we've seen for ourselves. He's a double world champion, he's immensely talented, and he should relish the opportunity to compete against a team-mate who has the capability to match him. Instead he's choosing to complain and sulk, and it's a real shame.
