Title: Alonso: Daniel is doing 'Unbelievable'
Post by: Scott on July 21, 2014, 04:28:46 PM

Alonso is jumping on the Ricciardo fan wagon (I've been on it for a while now), and has made his praise public.  One of the highlights of the race for me was the duel between Alonso and Ricciardo.

When you read the quotes, try to say it with a Spanish accent.  'Unbelievable' is almost impossible to spell phonetically.   ;)

It was a kinda re-run of the Nando/Vettel skirmishes at Silverstone, however this time it was Nando battling to get past. Ferd is probably thankful that Daniel never got as twitchy or physical as he got with Seb in Britain.  ;)

Daniel is definitely stepping up to the plate this year, all us Mark fans just love what he's doing to the reigning multi world champ.  :D

Also, Alonso is using Ricciardo's great performances to tacitly take a swipe at Vettel for under performing.  It's documented that Alonso doesn't think Vettel is that great, and I get the impression that he sees Ricciardo as much more of a championship threat in seasons to come.
