Here's a link that contains a quote from David Coulthard's new biography.

"Alonso, who suspected favouritism towards Hamilton, may also be advised to read Coulthard's book, particularly the passage relating to Coulthard's partnership with Mika Hakkinen: 'The first sign that there might be specific favouritism towards Mika came in Melbourne 1996 [Coulthard's first race for McLaren]. I was with my race engineer and Mika was chatting to his.

'The door opened and Ron [Dennis] walked in. I stood up to shake his hand and Ron ignored me. Instead he strode over to sit next to Mika and said, "What's the plan, guys?" We all listened to Mika's plans [for the race] and then Ron said, "OK, what are they doing?" Here was my team principal talking about me as if I was a rival team. "They" is not a word you use in a team situation, surely? At that exact moment, I think the naivety, the innocence of my youth, shattered around me.'

Coulthard went on to explain that, despite continual assurances to the contrary, it took Dennis a few years to admit that he did favour Hakkinen."
