And he wants to do that WITHOUT winning this year’s title.

WTF?!? My sentiments exactly. We all know that his current team, Renault, this 2008 F1 season can’t compete with the Ferraris and the McLarens. Alonso, a double world champion in Formula One, has fallen from No.1 the last few years to eight place as far as this year’s drivers championship standings is concerned.

However, being the competitor that Fernando Alonso is, he believes he still can prove that he is the best without winning the championship. How in the hell can this sick fuck do that? Performing better than the Renault car that he’s driving.

‘’I'll keep fighting for a podium or even a victory this year because that will prove that I’m still here,'’ Fernando Alonso said.

‘’I want to prove to everybody that I’m still the best so I need a super performance to do that, which means a podium or a win.'’

‘’And I’ll be trying to do it in the second part of the season.'’

At this point of the season, Lewis Hamilton is still leading the drivers championship with 62 points. Now the No.1 guy in McLaren - Mercedes after Alonso defected to rejoin Renault this season, Hamilton is eager to prove that his team made the right decision to stay with him.

(Yep, just like Kobe Bryant when Shaq left L.A.)

Not far behind is Kimi Raikkonen, the defending world champion has 57 points and looks to be back to form after letting Felipe Massa hog the spotlight the last few races in a Ferrari.

Alonso knows he can no longer catch the top dogs this year but if he continues to finish strong and push that Renault to its limit, he is hoping people will start noticing him again.
