Alonso and Hamiton Flap

The press is already trying to drum up a conflict between McLaren Drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton:
According to one source, Alonso's manager Luis Garcia-Abbot became so frustrated with McLaren team members' one-sided enthusiasm for rookie Lewis Hamilton in Australia that he opted to watch qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix from the tranquility of the Renault pits.  To the Diario As newspaper, McLaren CEO Martin Whitmarsh insisted that championship leader Alonso should not become the forgotten man.As also pointed out that, although Hamilton achieved the best overall lap on Sunday, no fewer than 16 of the 20 fastest laps of the Malaysian Grand Prix belonged to Alonso.
Just imagine how it would be portrayed if they were actually fighting?
