Former world champion Nico Rosberg has shown little sympathy for former rival Fernando Alonso’s car struggles, blaming the Spaniard’s persistent “internal politics games” for the lack of teams willing to give him a car good enough to compete for a title.Rosberg is no stranger to internal conflicts himself, having notoriously endured a scrappy battle with former teammate Lewis Hamilton on his way to winning the 2016 world championship.The German retired at the end of that season and has since remained active in the F1 world as an ambassador at his old team Mercedes.He's also a regular on Sky Sports as a pundit for the sport, as well as having his own YouTube channel where he blogs his Grand Prix weekend experiences.With 32 points, Alonso currently sits seventh in the driver standings, having retired early at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Sunday due to an exhaust failure.The McLaren Renault driver’s chances of challenging at the top of the table this season seem slim, with the big three teams – Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull – leading the way so far.The Canadian GP was Alonso’s 300th race, but, having not won a race since the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix over five years ago, there has been some suggestion that there may not be many more.The main reason behind his problems is the fact he's not in a big team, but Rosberg said on Twitter during a Q&A session that that's down to his behaviour.

Unsurprisingly, F1 fans were quick to react to Rosberg's comments, with some agreeing with him, and others slaughtering him.

With the Spaniard setting his immediate sights on victory at next weekend’s World Endurance Championship at Le Mans, this season may be Alonso’s last in F1.

A win there would secure Alonso the second leg of the triple crown, leaving only a win at the Indianapolis 500 between him and becoming only the second man after Graham Hill to win the trio of races that also includes the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix.

The two-time world champion remained coy when asked about his future in F1. “We’ll see. We definitely need to find more performance in the car. We need to find a way to become competitive… let’s see what happens in the next couple of months.”
