Very good point, I think Alonso has been the best driver of the year so far.
I'm sorry to have to say it but there is only one driver of this year and its Seb Vettel. Yes we know he has the best car but boy has he made good use of it.
I will echo the sentiment that Alonso is having an awesome season though. Its seems he's taken what you might call a chill pill. He's stopped all the moaning about team and team-mates, all the arm waving when he can't pass someone, all the complaining about the set up and tyres etc.He just seems to have got his head down and got on with it and I agree he's putting that Ferrari in places it shouldn't be.
Think I've said this before but it fits in with the topic. Vettel did pull an awesome move to overtake Alonso at Monza but if it hadn't been for Alonso being aware and fair we might very well be talking about a very high speed coming together. As we would have been at Eau Rouge. Maybe Vettel can pull a move like that on Fernando because he trusts him enough not to just drive into him.
