why, it was obvious, "we are racing alonso"
not to forget, thinks like in malaysia, alonso winning the race superbly and the team celebrated hamilton!
not to forget monaco, alonso was fastest on all three days and winning easily and the team let the impression that alonso was favoured

You do realise that team principles always talk in "we"?
Lewis was racing Alonso for the WDC because Kimi was 17 points behind in China so he had no chance of winning ( yes he won, just insane amount of luck ). So that's why Ron said that "we" ( that means the Mclaren strategist ) were racing Alonso and not Kimi and that's why they didn't call in Lewis much earlier in the pits before his tyres were gone.
That silly action of Mclaren in China is what actually helped Alonso to closen the gap in the WDC, because else Lewis would have won the China and be the 2007 WDC
For someone that wasn't even a test driver to be so close to Alonso, fighting with Kimi and Massa and scoring podiums all the time, ofcourse they are going to celebrate it.
The team didn't say Alonso was favored, they said the race was fixed in advance, because of the unpredictabilty of the safety car. Alonso was given a light car so that's why he was so fast

Lewis was given a car full of fuel that could anticipate a safety car and jump everybody. But Mclaren didn't expect that Lewis was going to beat Alonso, so they gave him an extra stop and even told him later that he should back off. And that is what pissed Lewis off, because he was sabotaged by the pitcrew.
edit: And the FIA had stewards in the garage of Mclaren, they never found a shred of evidence that Mclaren favoured Lewis
