The one time I was impressed by Alonso was his drive in '05 (at Interlagos IIRC) to hold off Michael and lock-up the championship. He did a fantastic job of being just fast enough to keep from being passed, but slow enough to ruin Schumacher's chance of capitalizing on fuel load. I thought it was a brilliant drive and deserving of a world championship.
Since then, I've seen less and less brilliant driving, and more winning due to circumstance. Last year's championship was won only because Ferrari had some bad luck. If it had come down to brilliant driving in '06 rather than "who had the least bad luck" Michael would have chewed Alonso up and spit him out on the way to #8 and a retirement championship.
After seeing Alonso become more and more of a whiner and a punk... it hurts more and more that Michael didn't beat him for the championship last year.
