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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.
2007 was a dramatic year as Alonso and Hamilton went head-to-head for th⛎e title.
The intensity between the pair ultima💮tely meant that ♌both drivers lost out in the end to Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.
Things got so toxic in the ♍team that Alonso decided to leave at the end of the sea🙈son for Renault.
2007 al🌟so saw McLaren fined $100 million and disqualified from the constructors’ championship as part of ‘Spygate’.
Convy took to Ins💛tagram to throw shade at Alonso, with an 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 tu🧸rn up “set the tone for the season”.
In his post, he wrote: HOW NOT TO BE A TEAM PLAYER: this McLaren-M🐓erced𒅌es 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 seasonಌ and the rest is history. No one is bigger than your team or organisation.”
