Can Alonso get back on track at 2007 Monaco GP?

HELL NO, because it's all about Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren – Mercedes camp lately.

In case you have no idea who the heck Lewis Hamilton is, he was suppose to be the young rookie driver to follow the lead of two-time defending F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso. After four rounds of the 2007 F1 Season, this was just not the case.

Out of nowhere, Lewis Hamilton is making headlines all throughout the F1 racing circuit. Heck, this guy is driving like he has been here for five, six years and now, McLaren find themselves in a dream season with two drivers, each capable of bringing home both the drivers' and constructors' championship titles.

Of course, Fernando Alonso is not happy about it. Not one bit. Hell, after moving from Renault to McLaren to resume what is now his two-year reign as champion of F1, he's losing his grip on his title. And to make things worse, he's losing it to a goddamn teammate.

The pressure is on Alonso now to remind his McLaren teammate just who is the team's No.1 driver. The only problem is, many people believe Alonso can't compete with the young Lewis Hamilton.

Renault's team manager Steve Nielsen has joined the chorus in casting doubt over Fernando Alonso's ability to compete with Lewis Hamilton. Alonso and Nielsen worked together at the Anglo-French team and won both the Drivers' and Constructors' World Championships.

As a result Nielsen has something of an inside track on the World Champion's psyche and he declared that pressure from teammates had affected Alonso during his four seasons with Renault.

''In his career, he has always been comfortably faster than teammates, and now he's got a guy who's his equal, if not maybe a little bit quicker in the races as we've seen so far,'' Nielsen said.

''And I think he'll be questioning himself, deep down inside, as to whether he is really quicker than his teammate, and I think that will give him a lot of self-doubt.''
