But you are certainly right that Hamilton has been a McLaren man for years, whereas Alonso is the newcomer. Even so, I think Ron Dennis will give them equal treatment for the sake of the constructor's championship - and Hamilton is going to be part of that team for many years, whereas Alonso will go elsewhere if he thinks he is getting poorer treatment. Personally, I have complete faith in Alonso - he is a double world champion, earned both through superior ability and will have no trouble in remaining as the McLaren number one this year. It's <em>next</em> year that I think we may see McLaren begin to favour Hamilton, after he has served his "apprenticeship". As for Kimi, I think it's becoming very obvious that Ferrari prefer Massa... I must admit that I hadn’t noticed that, Haplo – I shall have to watch carefully in future.

On another subject, have you noticed how cheerfully Denis celebrates Hamilton's podiums and not so cheerfully Alonso's? And I remember reading in F1Racing that the team will give Hamilton the better hand, even if they claim they wont. You know, Hamilton being with McLaren since he was 12 or something, being english and all, and Alonso really is in a new team, not so Hamilton. It will be very interesting seeing the world champion becoming more and more desperate, IF Hamilton continues to deliver. To some extent, I think Kimi is in a similiar situation...
