I don't know how Ron Dennis has any say over it. Mercedes has already 'fired' Alonso. - snoogins 2007-11-02 12:09:56 (63 views)

The McLaren website states it as an agreement discussed with RD and FA. - jbchinoca 2007-11-02 16:16:45 (74 views)

Really? Where is this info from? Do show us proof. - Mike S 2007-11-02 12:30:02 (57 views)

They talked about it during the Fuji braodcast. The board at Mercedes voted... - snoogins 2007-11-02 13:49:52 (114 views)

I have heard rumors, but seen no proof or statement from mercedes. Rumors are rumors. - Mike S 2007-11-02 14:58:14 (109 views)

You don't seem to have any problems participating in Rumorville, yourself... - John/TSR 2007-11-05 07:10:41 (89 views)

Nice try, John! Sorry, but personal knowledge is quite different. (EDIT) - Mike S 2007-11-05 07:55:53 (123 views)

Too funny. I was unaware snoogins worked for a race team in the series and was friends - Mike S 2007-11-05 10:20:24 (282 views)

Keep flailing. A+ for conflation of "rumor" and "fact"... - John/TSR 2007-11-05 11:03:38 (106 views)

And I couldn't find any confimation anywhere, but I remember Hobbs and Varsha discussing it. - snoogins 2007-11-02 17:15:06 (62 views)

The only thing that really matters, is that the McL site says officialy that he is "adios." - jbchinoca 2007-11-02 17:50:50 (71 views)

I would love to see them trade Alonso for Kovalainen. I think the Finn would do well in a McLaren. - snoogins 2007-11-02 21:13:14 (64 views)

Bingo. Rumors are rumors. Unless snoogins is on that board or the board speaks, it's just - Mike S 2007-11-02 19:43:55 (77 views)

I knew I could find something about it... - snoogins 2007-11-02 21:20:22 (86 views)

Again, there is nothing official there. Simply a story about rumor/story. Sans press release or a - Mike S 2007-11-03 09:51:18 (73 views)

That's because there is no provable fact in that statement. On the contrary, there are direct - Mike S 2007-11-02 17:22:06 (72 views)

A later report - Alonso's rep says he can join any team. - wallaby 2007-11-02 06:22:48 (77 views)

Yeah just read this when I woke up today - CarbonFibre 2007-11-02 15:02:15 (58 views)

Straight from the horse's.......mouth. - jbchinoca 2007-11-02 07:17:08 (91 views)

So where is your guess he will be heading? Back to Renault? This gives a - Rakete 2007-11-02 12:28:41 (73 views)

I believe the article implies that no penalties involved, they are so pissed at each other. An - jbchinoca 2007-11-02 15:58:21 (73 views)

There were rumours of a driver swap at Renault between Alonso and Kovy - pattycakes® iClot 2007-11-02 12:45:11 (75 views)

Teams always want long-term contracts with a driver like Alonso, but he probably just wants 1 year - CarbonFibre 2007-11-02 15:03:51 (65 views)

Considering the mess he made at McL, I'd be surprised to see anyone outside of Renault - jbchinoca 2007-11-02 17:03:05 (63 views)

Well if you believe the rumor mongoring, he would be very welcome at Ferrari in one year's time - pattycakes® iClot 2007-11-02 18:00:31 (71 views)

I'm not so sure Ross Braun would have him as a driver... - snoogins 2007-11-02 21:24:16 (65 views)

*waits for edcli to show up and claim his prize money* - pattycakes® iClot 2007-11-02 09:58:00 (61 views)

LOL... so do you concede? - edcli 2007-11-02 14:28:34 (60 views)

nothing to concede.. you won the bet. - pattycakes® iClot 2007-11-02 14:33:48 (67 views)

e-mail sent... I'll hold onto the $5 for my next wager on AW - edcli 2007-11-05 09:29:50 (54 views)

Maybe he is ready for NASCAR...lol - Rakete 2007-11-02 06:44:25 (56 views)
