Hill: McLaren move right for Alonso

[OTA]

The exit from Renault was decided before the 2004 season started.

But he did not.



Did he won any race after Williams?

He didnt win it sir, but he lead the race by 30 seconds!!! and that wasnt because the others all broke down he did it on raw pace.
The only reason he lost was because he got stuck in 6th gear after a £1.50 bit broke.

Could YOU have lead that race in an arrows huh? HUH? :P

2004??? Based on what?

[ClarkFan]

It was like

Frank Williams: Damon, You're fired!
Damon: Bugger.

Subsequent conversation:
Adrian Newey: Damon won't be testing my designs any more? I quit!
Frank Williams: Bugger.

I think it went more like this...

Ron Dennis: Adrian, what's ol' Frank paying you?
Adrian Newey: A sh!te load, why?
Ron: I'll pay you a sh!te load x 2. How's that sound?
Adrian: Great! Frank, I quit!
Frank Williams: Bugger.

I think Alonso's deal went somewhat the same...

Ron Dennis: Fernando, what's ol' Flavio paying you?
Fernando Alonso: A sh!te load, why?
Ron: I'll pay you a sh!te load x 2. How's that sound?
Fernando: Great! Flavio, I quit! Stick you're management deal you know where!
Flavio Briatore: Bugger.

But then again, I'm a cynic.

He was supposed to go to Ferrari :-p

Unluckily he said it will never happen, instead of keep staying at Renault i'd rather to say McLaren is the right move

I think Damon Hill have commented Alonso's move objectively

You, my good man, need a lesson in F1 history:

The 1998 Belgian Grand Prix.

Ohhh 1 more question, how many cars completed that race.

Excuses, Excuses and more Excuses

Could YOU have lead that race in an arrows huh? HUH? :P

I have seen a Minardi lead a race, so I guess anything is possible, huh? huh?

[ArrowsFA1]

fly_ac, if you'd like to continue to discussion the abilities of Damon Hill then I'd suggest you take the discussion to History and Nostalgia.

Alonso took the decission of leaving Renault, first, in the basis that he did not agree with the year he spend in testing, right or wrong is another thing, but he sure was not happy about it.
And second and more important he was not happy with Trulli getting the new developments before him and overall with his status within the team. He had very clear that he was the superior driver in Renault and he felt that was only appreciated when speaking in public, but not in the garage.
