but I can't see that happening.

I'd say he will go back to Renault, the real interesting thing is how long will his contract be for?

If it's 1 year, that'll be a tell tale sign of another move...

I don't know how Ron Dennis has any say over it. Mercedes has already 'fired' Alonso. - snoogins 2007-11-02 12:09:56 (64 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 (63 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 (72 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)

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)
