Nigel Roebuck: Fifth Column
"Alonso must capitalise on his experience to beat Hamilton"
One way and another, two top teams - and their drivers - are rather dominating F1 conversation at the moment, not least because the perceived number one drivers of McLaren and Ferrari have so far fallen a little short of expectations. Lewis Hamilton may be the only member of the quartet so far without a win in 2007, but he leads the world championship, and the man with most victories and pole positions is Felipe Massa.
Although Fernando Alonso won at Sepang, and Kimi Raikkonen in Melbourne, neither has looked as convincing as might have been anticipated, and inevitably there has much speculation as to why. In Barcelona Jackie Stewart suggested that Raikkonen falls short of the level of professionalism required today.
