Not giving any damn today for what happened 20 years ago and you didn't ruin any hope, but rather getting on my nerves again with your history... Sorry, it just makes me puke, for quite time i must admit.

My point is there was, is and will be favoritism in F1 even at let them at it teams. Unless you change human nature that won't change. People will take sides. It depends who's side is bigger and more powerfull/influential.

So what are you trying to say, the fact that they've managed to make a good and equal car without that much of a driver's assistance justifies Alonso's claims? That Hamilton is favorized?
........
Their job is to make a good car, driver must learn and work to get along with it...They've done their job (points and standings in CC) afaic, Alonso didn't...

You simply cannot build a car without input and test, nor can you ever stand still.
Alonso is a package, he got to McLaren to replace both Raikkonen and Wurz as well as others.

Also you don't seem to understand certain things. After CAD/CAM phase a car is either crap or it has potential, tough it depends how much potential.
Without the likes of Alonso, Wurz, Heidfeld or the late Schumacher you cannot reach and exploitate a car's potential, nor improve it.
A package is not a person who just drives the car.
Schumacher was said to have had the best car, slightly wrong, he developed the best car. He represents the very incarnation of the package, tough he certainatly wasn't the first. Alonso is also a package and won 2 WDC with Schumacher on the field.

At the opposite to packages are/were the likes of Mansell, Montoya, Raikkonen.

Hamilton has a long way to go, and I don't by all this hype nonsense for many reasons.
