Maybe Alonso will

According to the Spaniard Michael Schumacher is the most unsporting F1 driver of all times. Alonso made it clear he won't be missing the German when he retires at the end of the season.

During the Italian Grand prix weekend Fernando Alonso received a penalty after qualifying because the Renault driver blocked Schumacher's teammate Felipe Massa. Alonso obviously didn't agree with his punishment, and slammed Schumacher earlier this year for trying to mess up Monaco's qualifying session when the German blocked the track in the final qualifying minute.

"Michael is the most unsporting driver F1 has ever seen," Alonso told Spanish radio station Marca.

"Zidane retired with more glory than Schumacher," he added.


The Spaniard did, however, admit how much he enjoyed the opportunity to race against the seven-time World Champion.

"That doesn't mean he hasn't been the best driver, and fighting against him has been an honour and a pleasure," Alonso said.

Alonso has a two point lead over Schumacher with only three races to go this season but disagrees with his Team Principal Flavio Briatore that a run of decisions against the Renault team has gifted Schumacher the drivers' title.

"I don't agree with Flavio. They haven't given the title to Schumacher already. It's true there have been a lot of decisions against some and in favour of other but that's it."
