Kimi Shows Up, Alonso Melts Down

HUGE win for Kimi Raikkonen this weekend, especially as it was combined with a rare Alonso biff.

KR is now within 8 points of Alonso, who, having been savagely humiliated by Lewis Hamilton, is clearly experiencing the kind of catastrophic Freudian ego disintegration (a.k.a. "ego death") commonly associated with people who've overdosed on Schedule C hallucinogens, or flatlined on an operating table and come back, only to be tormented forever by howling, winged demons.

Public, slow-burn ego death is never a pretty picture--even the tabloids won't touch it--but in Alonso’s case, it gotta be especially rough. Right now he's finding out that deep down, underneath it all, once all those masks and the fruity little Euro sunglasses come off, he’s just another shame-faced clown.

Well, his loss is Kimi’s gain, so no complaints from me....

Sadly for Alonso, the Sabbatic Goat-Daemon Baphomet is a massive Lewis Hamilton fan. He also has boobies.
