MasterPlans 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 Quote begins// World Champion Fernando Alonso has fired the opening salvo of pre-season mind-games by stating that the McLaren MP4-22 is "not even close to ready for Australia".

The McLaren driver told Spanish network Telecinco that the car is, "not even close to ready for Australia and time is running out." "I hope that in Barcelona and Bahrain we can get it set up properly in two weeks time," said the 25-year old. Alonso's claims come as some surprise as the MP4-22 has - generally - set the pace through pre-season testing. // Quote Ends Source: http://www.planet-f1.com/News/Story_Page/0...1904843,00.html I belive this is not Alonso's idea but Ron's dictate.
