…seems to be the theme of the week, as both Spyker drivers Christijan Albers and Adrian Sutil and Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher have been issued with that instruction. Ralf is under particular pressure as he’s currently in negotiations over a contract for 2008. Ironically, Sutil is one of those linked to Ralf’s drive next season.

The Alonso whine saga continues after former McLaren driver John Watson had harsh words for the double world champion.

“I think Alonso is missing being the centre of attention,” Watson told The Sun newspaper. “He has been the centre of attention at Renault and in Spain but obviously he’s not anymore. He feels that because he’s in a British team Lewis is getting favouritism. That’s bollocks.

“The only thing that is happening is Lewis is generating so much excitement at the moment that Alonso doesn’t know what is happening. It’s not Lewis’ fault he’s doing well and Alonso isn’t.

“He just has to stop, take a breath, move on and grow up.”

Could go either way, this one.
