Formula 1 - Lewis Hamilton vs. Fernando Alonso

Anyone following my blog on Formula 1 should have picked up the body language between the two McLaren drivers and I was very interested to read after the British Grand Prix an article on Ron Dennis.

Dennis made sure that he praised double world champion Fernando Alonso, 14 points behind Hamilton in the championship and third in Saturday's qualifying, as much as the local hero.

Alonso, now outqualified for four races in a row by his precocious team mate, had looked every bit as downcast as his employer as reporters fired question after question at Hamilton.

"If I start eulogising about anybody, I would probably start with Fernando," said Dennis.

"He's a double world champion who really gets on with the job and is very focused and really has an intense desire to win. With Lewis it is easy to eulogise about his performance because he is new to Formula One. But I want to be balanced."

Personally I am getting a bit fed up with Lewis Hamilton been pushed down my throat by the media and maybe coming third today may have brought Lewis Hamilton down to reality. A great driver yes, but then so are the other top 3 contenders and maybe if BMW and Renault can find more speed and Toyota more reliability there could be a ten way battle, not forgetting Williams, Honda and Red Bull that are improving

Dutch paper tipped off about Madeleine McCann

Leading Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf has received an anonymous letter containing clues regarding the whereabouts of the missing British girl Madeleine McCann. Police are taking the letter very seriously, because it was apparently written by the same person who last year sent a letter providing the exact location of the two murdered Belgian girls Stacey and Nathalie.

Madeleine McCann
Missing since 3 May 2007
The recent letter says Madeleine can be found in Portugal, not far from the hotel room she was abducted from on 3 May this year. It says that she lies buried "north of the road under branches and rocks, around six to seven metres off the road" in a barren and deserted hilly landscape.

Crosses on a map that came with the letter show the location of her body. De Telegraaf has handed the letter over to Dutch police who will hand it over to detectives in Portugal.

What sort of person are we dealing with here? Is society getting worse with the abduction Madeleine McCann (and hopefully not worse), of with the stabbing of a policeman in Luton England yesterday? Crime and terrorism is reported on a daily, even hourly basis. Is the world deteriorating rapidly?

How can the person responsible live with himself? What would you do to this person? If she is alive why does the person not just leave her on the doorstep of their nearest police station?
