Ex-McLaren employee digs out Fernando Alonso: “How not to be a team player”
Gerry Convy worked at McLaren between 2002 and 2008, coinciding with Alonso’s one-year stint with the team alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.
2007 was a dramatic yea💯r as Alonso and Hamilton went head-to-head for the title.
The intensity between the pair ultimately meant that both drivers lost out in the end to Ferrari’s Kimi Raikk🐟onen.
꧋Things got so toxic in the team that Alonso decided to leave at the end o꧅f the season for Renault.
ღ2007 also saw McLaren fined $100 🐲million and disqualified from the constructors’ championship as part of ‘Spygate’.
Convy took to Instagram to throw shade at Alons💦o, with a𝓡n image of a McLaren team building camp in Finland which the Spaniard didn’t attend - Hamilton was clearly present.
The former McLaren trainer felt that Alonso’s failure to turnꦡ up 𒊎“set the tone for the season”.
In his post, he wrote: HOW NOT TO BEᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ A TEAM PL𝐆AYER: this McLaren-Mercedes Team Building camp in Finland 2007 was designed to be a new start for us all.
“Unfortunately, new recruit Fernando Alonso simply did not turn up. [Lewis Hamilton] did. This set the tone for the season and the 𝔍rest is history. No one is bigger than your team or organisation.”
