Alonso denies swearing at Vettel

[Ferrari_Fanatic]

Sep.22 (GMM) Sebastian Vettel was sworn at by Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso after winning the Italian grand prix at Monza two weeks ago, but the Spaniard denies the reports.
Bild-Zeitung claims Alonso whispered in the ear of, championship leader and race winner, Vettel before the Monza podium: “F*ck you, my boy”.
Earlier, to the passionate Tifosi’s chagrin, Vettel had passed Alonso to lead the race, a move the Red Bull driver described as “very hard but fair”.
Afterwards, the energy drinks team’s outspoken Dr Helmut Marko said it was “good to show Alonso how the wind blows”.
Double world champion Alonso however denies Bild’s claim that he insulted Vettel.
“We chatted briefly but it was quite normal and friendly,” said the Spaniard.
Bild said Vettel would not comment.
But in an interview with the German broadcaster RTL, he talked about having the respect of his rivals.
“It’s important to me that I can feel it,” said the 24-year-old, “even if you have had an extremely tough race.”

"......... I’ve been told that some people have written that I said a bad word to him (Vettel) in the immediate post-race at Monza when we were talking about the pass that happened when the safety car came in: it’s incredible to see how far the made-up stories of certain people can travel! Not only did I never say the word in question to him but we chatted about the episode in a very good way, as was clear to everyone during the FIA Press Conference a few minutes later." (Fernando's blog on Ferrari site)

I know who I believe. It's a ridiculous and immature accusation. Vettel has also spoken very respectfully of Fernando since the the race.

Is there really nothing else going on in F1 that we need this nonsense

Exactly, and it also never happened. It is just not Fernando's style to do something like this and besides that, there wasn't any reason.

[justjesper]

To be honest. I might just be getting old

And I really do not get the whole MTV / reality Tv generation, where it's black or black'er. The best thing is to see or say something that will hurt others.
I think we should be smarter and more intelligent and not be jumping on this nonsense.

I thought he said "F*ck you Red Bull" as a joke. While his exact words weren't clear, Button and Vettel immediately laughed when they heard it.

“F*ck you, my boy”

Sounds more like an old cowboy would come up with that line, not a Spanish racing driver talking in his second language. Its BILD, don't they report about missing airplanes found on the moon!!!

If that's what he said I think we can all live with that; after all someone had to say it

[EL NANO]

I can't see any driver saying this to another post race... Rubbish!
