So, Lewis is 'blown away' by the tapas eating, treacherous, work-shy peasant's comments in the post practice press conference.
Alonso claimed his McLaren rival was "the one who's able to clinch a championship with a car that's not the best".
Now Lewis has taken this as a compliment to him, which is sweet. But is it not just a bit possible that Alonso has an ulterior motive?
I wonder how his team mate, Diego from Dora the Explorer will react to the news that Alonso is fully supporting the bloke who keeps crashing into him?
I mean, it's not like Diego and Lewis have only had a couple of incidents this year, is it?
May 2011 - The pair bang wheels at the hairpin during the Monaco GP with Hamilton picking up a drive-through penalty.
September 2011 - In qualifying for the Singapore GP, the duo nearly collide as they try to find clear air for their flying laps.
September 2011 - In the race, Hamilton turns into Diego. The Brazilian suffers a puncture while Hamilton is handed a drive-through penalty.
October 2011 - The two drivers have a minor brush at Suzuka with Hamilton accepting responsibility. The stewards take no action.
October 2011 - They are involved in a heavy collision in India, with Diego handed a drive-through penalty for turning in on Hamilton.
So, Alonso's up to his usual 'let's destabilise my team mate and reinforce my number one status' routine. Again.
You've got to admire his ability to play politics and completely screw with whoever is unfortunate enough to be his team mate's mind. Or at least what's left of it since it got hit by that spring.
