Fernando Alonso has been named the top F1 driver of the 2008 season by Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Why Alonso? Because he was driving a Renault, which did not begin as the best machine, but in the last six Grand Prix no-one scored more points than him,In wise and close collaboration with his engineers, he gradually improved to a level of high competitiveness that allowed him not only to win two races, but to do better than everyone from September onwards: 43 points for him versus 33 for Massa and 28 for Hamilton.And all this with the handicap of Renault engine power. Had he driven a Ferrari, the title would certainly had been his”
