Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya are both 'better drivers' than 2005 world champion Fernando Alonso, McLaren boss Ron Dennis reckons. "That may sound like sour grapes," the Englishman told Autosport, "but it's the way I feel."
Dennis says the F1 world can not properly gauge Renault driver Alonso's talent because he's been driving conservatively and protecting a big championship lead lately. He added: "Our drivers certainly have better equipment but personally I feel they're also better drivers."
24-year-old Alonso, though, offered nothing but a cold shoulder to any sceptic of his talent. "I don't care about people who don't like me."
The Spaniard added: "I always try to tell the truth and sometimes that's hard because in F1 the truth is told maybe 50 per cent of the time -- but I tell the truth. Sometimes people don't like it."
