With the Mercedes hierarchy handing down Alonso's dismissal after this season, we all assume that he's gonna be with Renault for next year. But for how long, and who will he displace? I think the 'deal' with Ferrari is a dead issue. I think Kimi and Massa will be there for at least the next 3 seasons, especially when Kimi wins this weekend.

And he has the money to silence any driver under his contract so they don't make waves.....how is that for a rumor :-)

and blackmail attempts should castrate him in F1. Even with Flabio. But I suspect deep down, he will still wind up with Renault.
