Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Steve Matchett on Alonso

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

I wonder what the normal procedure is on teams?  Does the senior driver
always share telemetry/setup information/etc.?  When Michael was racing for
Ferrari was his setup information shared with his teammate?  Just trying to
figure out if Alonso's position (of not wanting to share that info. with
Hamilton) is in any way "normal" or if he was really off the wall.  As far
as what he allegedly did (his position vis a vis Ron Dennis,
information/FIA, etc.), I find it highly unethical and wonder if he can even
FIND a drive for next year if he leaves McLaren.  Voluntarily or otherwise.
I think if I were R.D. I'd find another driver if it weren't already so late
in the season.  OTOH, maybe best just to let him finish out the season and
then let him try to find another ride or find someone else to replace him in
the '08 season.
Just some thoughts,
