I actually agree with both statements.
On the whole I think Alonso is probably the better driver of the two. But in a thread like this, my previous answer seemed appropiate.
But to which driver is more rounded, I think Massa probably pips that one.
Unless Alonso is in the No1 spot and gets most of the attention than I think history will only repeat himself. In 2007 if Alonso had directed more of his energy to winning than in-fighting he would have already been a triple WDC.
Alonso will only be at the same level as Massa, when he can ignore the red mist.
Also i think Massa is only about 4 points behind Alonso. The Ferrari was also a dog at the beginning of the season, and Alonso has taken part in a few more races.
