[Translated article in comments] Alonso: "There are lies about my career that are not true"

He probably felt he was losing the garage and there was no way for McLaren to be "his team" instead of Lewis'. He could've tried to show why he was a 2-time WDC and get the garage back on his side, but even cold-blooded Prost couldn't do that in '89.

Fernando is not the kind of guy to go down easily. He'll lash out in every direction, even if he now says it's all lies. Stunts like Hungary and going back to Renault, saying that Vettel only won because of his Newey-rocket and the way he publicly humiliated Honda (which we all know how Japanese companies feel about that kind of treatment) tells a very different story than the one he now tries to tell in retrospective. He will always be known as one of the best F1 drivers ever, but also one of the biggest ego's.
