A cheater is someone who willfully breaks the rules; I see only one instance of that happening this season- Massa moving over - and that was only due to his TEAM asking Massa to move over. It sounds to me like you just don't like Alonso's "I'll do anything to win" personality, which is perfectly fine with me. But if he's NOT breaking the rules, he's NOT a cheater. Ok? If you're going to make accusations, as least understand the definitions first. Or if you're going to make up definitions, then at least be consistent - Hamilton is a cheater for jumping the safety car, Webber is a cheater for crashing into Hamilton, Vettel is a cheater for holding everyone up behind the safety car, etc.

Technically, its massa's own "decision" to move over...
Anyhow, all race drivers are at some point going for some loop holes or willing to break some rule if there's a clear advantage. Another example, LH qualify pole in Canada with an empty fuel tank, without complete the in-lap. That's the loop hole that Lewis and McLaren "brilliantly" took advantage of.
That's how teams determine to win....teams take different approach. Red Bulls decided to work harder. But teams and driver taking different approach to win is what makes Formula 1 and motor racing interesting.
Also brings controversies and discussion all the time. otherwise off track forum will be boring.
