Alonso and his big words....I find that younger F1 drivers who have tasted sucess are often more cocky and overly confident (just like young schumi).

Alonso: 'Schumi can't win this year's title'
Monday June 27 2005
Fernando Alonso has ruled out a Michael Schumacher victory in this year's Championship despite the German closing the gap in the standings at Indy.
Schumacher bagged the maximum ten points after winning the six-car race that none of the Michelin runners raced in. The Ferrari is now up to 34 points, 25 less than Alonso.
However, that doesn't mean Schumacher's in the running to retain the World title.
"He's back because he scored 10 points at Indianapolis and eight in Canada," Alonso told the BBC.
"But we know we were more competitive than Ferrari at Indy and in front of him in Canada when we retired."
"Fisi, Montoya and me all retired in Canada and we did a big favour to the others," he added.
The 23-year-old Spaniard is also confident that he can hold off any challenge second-placed Kimi Raikkonen poses although he does admit that "the McLarens are a bit quicker than us and we have to develop the car."
"We only did half of the season and the most important race is the final one, but the car is performing very well. We have the chance and we have a good gap.
