People associated with motorsports will tell you that the first person a driver has to beat is his own teammate.
Alonso has done this throughout his glittering career, barring the one tumultuous season at McLaren where Hamilton and Alonso finished level on points.
It's fair to say that the Spaniard has had the measure of all his teammates and has outperformed them on all fronts.
