Fernando Alonso has "lost a lot of friends" in F1 over team-mate antics and press comments

Fernando Alonso has burned a lot of bridges in Formula 1 with his actions over the years, according to Damon Hill.

The Spaniard enjoyed success fairly early on in his career, winning the 2005 and 2006 drivers' titles with Renault. But he has not summited the F1 world again since and has developed a reputation for being a difficult person to work with as well as an excellent racer.

This was most notable during two separate spells at McLaren. During the first he fell out with the team over his title fight with Lewis Hamilton and left after just a year. And in his second, Alonso complained unrelentingly about his team's Honda engines to the press.
