Difference of being arrogant and nuisance is just a very thin line.
I hate Apelonso from the start of 2006. I dont really mind he was ousting MSC cos thats show his real ability n renault was a good car. What I really hate about him started in mid season when the damper was being brought up. He started losing his cool and start a mouthful attack at his team mate, FIA for supporting Ferrari and all those bullshits. I think a drivers best asset is shown during races. You can see why I hate JV and DC cos they talk too much.
Looking back, you can never be sure of what he really said, as it was translated from spanish. He just said that "he felt some of the team members are not doing the best of their ability" if translated correctly. Sadly, many newspaper did not translate this and accused him of bashing his team. And did his teammate help him in 06 like Irvine or Rubens or DC for that matter? i doubt that. The main reason Fernando lost the Chinese GP was the wrong tyre choice by the team, but it was a known story in the paddock that Fisico should have blocked schumacher instead of passing fernando.
For FIA supporting Ferrari.. well i have nothing against that, as I share the same POV as other teams
On the Bahrain GP, i bet on Kimi to get pole. but for race day, it's an open guess. The reason that Ferrari and Mclaren was so suprised at Malaysia was that McLaren was CONVINCED that Massa and Kimi had nearly 4 laps more fuel at the start of the race than Lewis, who was in fact the heaviest of teh top four car. The fact that they pitted nearly at the same time suggest McLaren having gained a tenth to the Ferrari, so i think this will be down to tactics
