I don't think a driver is in any way concerned with politics when he's driving around a F1 car. Politics in F1 are done off the track.
Mainly. But once the usual way is exhausted...
I can´t buy Alonso complaining about the PU in the PU manufacturer home gp is a coincidence. He´s been really patient all the season, and sudenly he´s ranting this hard precisely on Honda´s home?
I learnt a long time ago in F1 there´re no coincidences, and politics play a bigger role than in any other sport. Add to that McLaren has complained more than once about the development rate of Honda and to me this sound much more reasonable than Alonso ranting by himself
I neither believe in coïncidences. I simply don't believe it was a consious and political decision to do so. It could very well be that the fact that Honda did so poor on own ground saddened and angered Alonso,combined with a bad season anyway and with others overtaking him boiling him up to the point he could not take any more.
Let's not mistake this for a Bernie political chess-game. It was a honest outburst from Alonso, who simply lost it at the moment. You could argue that him sticking afterwards to it in his post-race interview was political, but as in "I'm in deep dodo now anyway, might just as well stick to it now to make a point."
