Ron Dennis tried to fall on his sword and say it was his fault. Alonso didn't win another race all year while Lewis went on to win 4 more.

Lots of team orders there going all over the place!

Plus, Jenson's a Brit.

I would actually say he has located his balls over the years!

Not sure I'd say he regrets his deal, but anyone in such position would fight to get out of that career "rut".

As much as I have little sympathy for him, I have much respect for this newfound self-respect. Now if he could act on those words instead of just whining, it would be just fine.

As long as he doesn't cry when he wins again it's all good.
