Alonso To Renault (?)

[NismoZ]

SPEED says Fernando is "eying a return to Renault" for '08 and Renault confirms talks are under way. Two openings, I hear.:)

That should be expensive. How long is his contract with McLaren?

He has another two years to run and it's worth approximately $68 million.

Not sure how enthusiastic Flavio would be about forking that kind of dosh over for the guy that just last year told you to go pound sand...

[NismoZ]

Spanish press says Alonso "has refused to commit to honouring the full 3 years of his McLaren contract." Has buyouts I suppose. All Fernando would say was "I don't know. We will see." Pound sand or go swivel. Take your pick!Todt has dismissed as "untrue speculation" that he is keen to sign Hamilton at $35/yr. mil US. Bourdais may be looking at $500k to go to STR.:rofl: I'd swivel for that but Bourdais probably won't.

It's also possible since he and Lewis can't drive for the same team that McLaren would also agree to let him go instead of having them continue like this for 2008. Contract works both ways I think. McLaren would have to buy him out to get rid of him, so they may agree to just part ways.

Two openings? Heikki (sp?) didn't start out the best, but he's been doing a bit better than Giancarlo as of late.

Somehow I doubt that Ron would spend the money...he's rumoured to be tighter than a duck's arse...

[cameraman]

Ron does not seem to have an aversion to spending insanely stupid sums on buildings, trailers and polishing equipment. Maybe it is just giving money to other humans:shakehead

[stroker]

If Hamilton can't follow directions on qualifying procedures wouldn't it be cheaper to lose him? I'd think there'd be more profit in selling Hamilton's contract rather than Alonso's.

Don't forget Hamilton wants to get paid a lot better than his current salary. How long is he under contract?

[opinionated ow]

that would make me a happy camper-my favourite team and driver back together again

Hamilton's better.

I can't see Alonso going, he's getting paid buckets of money and is on the team that will win the championship... it'd be a career screw-up of Jacque proportions to leave now.

Not only is Hamilton on his way to being rookie champion, he also completely destroyed a 2 time WC's confidence...

According to reports by British newspaper, The Times a ‘well-placed source', which was not identified, has confirmed that McLaren boss, Ron Dennis has informed the double world champion that if he is really unhappy with things then the door is open.

"My understanding is that he's been told he can go because they're so fed up with him," the source told the broadsheet ‘paper. "Ron is just very p***ed off with both of them [namely Alonso and Britain's Lewis Hamilton].”

Humans are dirty; they eat food and drink liquids and they spill things.

Buildings, trailers and polishing equipment can be cleaned & sterilized. They deserve Ron's love.

Maybe it isn't possible to have 2 #1 drivers on an F1 team.

That's been shown to be the case over the years...

Ferrari - never

McLaren - Ron tends to be monogomous

Williams - could happen if Frank weren't so cheap

Renault - only if Flavio is agent for both of them, he gots to get paid! ;)
