Alonso is a genius. He won 3 consecutive Spanish Karting titles, won the world karting title and made his F1 debut at the age of 19. He was the youngest ever grand prix winner, youngest ever pole sitter, youngest ever world champion and youngest ever double world champion.
In the third stint of the Australian grand prix Alonso was 1 second quicker than Hamilton per lap and finished the race 11 seconds ahead of Hamilton. That shows that Alonso was held up by Hamilton for most of the race. Hamilton even said that he couldn't keep up with Alonso in the last stint of the race: "I was pushing as hard as possible but Alonso was quicker so that was that"
If you want proof of Alonso's genius just look at the live timing archives. Alonso's consistency at the limit is quite frightening - His lap times are consistent to the nearest hundredth and sometimes to the nearest thousandth.
Only when Alonso leaves Mclaren will Hamilton have a chance to be world champion.

I hate Hamilton!!!!
Alonso is much better than him,i also hate people who think that Hamilton is a super-talented driver.If he won the 3rd position doesn't mean he's a world wonder!
maybe he was just lucky in Australian grand prix

While I am not a fan of Hamilton, I'd say the comparison is unjust. This is Alonso's sixth racing season, while for Hamilton, its just the first race. So too early and if you really wish to compare, in Alonso's first season his best finish was 10th! Brief, nevertheless, Hamilton led the race for a while!
Being held back was a truth in Australia, but a worthy champion would have blazed through and Alonso needed a pit stop to get past. I agree that Alonso is a cut above when compared to Hamilton, but that, for now will just be the vast experience Alonso has.

Hamilton does not need alonso to leave in order to be champion. He is very talented, and just needs to outdrive him. Alonso is really good. in fact, i have seen him race karts numerous times. He raced for the same kart manufacturer as me whwn we were juniors, and he was great. But, just because he has won the title twice, does not mean hamilton cannot. He IS far more expirienced at f1 than lewis, but lewis will gain more knowledge as time goes. I think he has a shot at the title in 09-10. We'll see.

Alonso a genius? Hardly! Have an MRI or a Catscan because something is wrong with your brain. He only won in 05' because the Bridgestone/Ferrari package was crap. And in 06' as we all know he got lucky with Schumacher blowing a motor. Schumacher kicked his *** for the second half of the season, and he is 12 years older!! Alonso won't be champion again. As for Lewis, he made a dumbass comment that he can be champion in three years. I hate both Mclaren drivers.

The basis for your question is one of the reasons why F1 is not more exciting. Team orders ruin the competition. Teams have a #1 and a #2 driver. The #2 is expected to help the #1 and not run for the win. That means in some races half the field is out there blocking. That is not racing to me.

i think hamilton, who i am a fan of, is going to have a better shot of winning championships with alonso as a teammate. think of all he can learn from watching someone who is allready one of the alltime greats. alonso isnt michael either in the way that michael'd have a cow if a teammate challanged him whereas alonso will view it as a challange for him to become a better driver

give the kid a chance,as for Alonso I don't agree with you,
performances count of course,but he's so self-conceited,Renault gave him the chance to become
world champion,Fabio Briattori actually ,who also gave his
chance to Schumi,and what did Alonso do ?he deserted.shame on him.
doesn't he know that you stick with the winning team?
