Alonso Roars

Based on the brief introduction of Alonso and the post on Alonso and his car, one might get the impression that Alonso is meek and gullible. Perhaps I am terrible at judging people. People used to repeat, never judge a book by it's cover. In my case, I guess I wouldn't be able to judge the book even after I see beneath it's cover.

Funny thing about Alonso is whenever he was asked a question, he will pause for some time and usually quite a long time before giving any reaction. Maybe he is trying to give people the impression that he is putting his thinking hat on. But it succeeded more in annoying people because sometimes people only expect a short "Yes" or "No" reply and while Alonso is taking his own sweet time to put on his thinking hat. People start to wonder whether Alonso is putting on the "right" hat on.

So, Alonso completed his task. Despite taking longer and having more resources to get the job done, Alonso complains that he doesn't get enough credits. Alonso demands that Ronnie, Alonso's boss, gave him a better score. Alonso refused to accept the score and when Ronnie turned down Alonso's plea, Alonso called for a press conference to vent his frustration to the public on how unfairly he was treated.

Now, someone who is meek would not go through such trouble just to obtain a better score. Of course being Alonso, it never crosses his mind whether he deserved a better score in the first place.
