''Alonso is simply unbeatable...''Sunday's British grand prix, tediously dominated by
Fernando Alonso for his third win on the trot, has awakened old 'Formula Boredom' headlines.
Italy's La Repubblica was one of many publications the world over who commented on the dullness
of the Silverstone race, which also indicated a near foregone-conclusion for the 2006 championship chase.
"Without having to fight," Repubblica went on, Alonso won easily."
England's Daily Telegraph, meanwhile, reckons the situation is like 2004 all over again, except that the 'villain' this time is not Ferrari's
Michael Schumacher.
"(Now) Alonso is the one easing audiences into a comatose state," the newspaper read.
In fact, the world champion's scoring rate is actually higher than in any of Schumacher's dreary years of dominance in 2002 and 2004.
Liberation in France, meanwhile, focused on the fact that the title is now easing away from seven time world champion's grasp, but Le Figaro mused more simply about a 'boring race'.
The Liberation article said of Schumacher: "With each passing race his chances of snatching the crown back from Alonso shrinks."
Even Bild, in Schumacher's home country of Germany, noted the gravity of Sunday's race in rural England.
The popular tabloid said: "Schumi, forget about this title, Alonso is simply unbeatable."
