    Alonso to change team in 2017

    Seeing the state of affairs of Mclaren-Honda during the two testing sessions, and also hearing mutterings of teams showing an interest in giving Alonso a drive if he wants it, would anyone really bet against the likelihood of an Alonso move in 2017 to another team. Under the circumstances, it would be hard for Mclaren to hang on to the two time world champion who is very clearly hungry for a 3rd title.

    Renault would love to have him back. Mercedes may not mind having Alonso, assuming he has not pissed them off with his claim of the fictitious Mercedes deal of two years ago. I would bet Williams may be entertaining the thought as well. You may say a return to Ferrari is out of the question, but l would think not entirely. The new management may have a different view on things.

    That said, which of these teams can provide Alonso with a championship winning car? Mercedes of course. Possibly Ferrari in 2017. Renault is a dark horse in 2017 hence may turn up with a surprise package for 2017. Williams may not be able to beat the might of Mercedes or Ferrari in 2017, hence may not be attractive to Alonso.

    Which drivers are at risk of an Alonso move? I am thinking the following:-

    1. Palmer - Renault
    2. Rosberg - Mercedes
    3. Massa - Williams
    4. Raikonen - Ferrari

    What do you think?
