Doesn't surprise me at all. These things are fairly standard. Often they are something like that if the team fails to score x number of points in a certain number of races then the driver is free to leave.
as a 2 x wdc that is a smart deal for Alonso. Plus maybe Flavio has retirement or movement on his mind as well
i bet thats just in case asslonso starts off like he did at mclaren and if renault get sick of his winging they can kick him off the team hehehe :D
That's why the Renault deal took so long, all along it was said that Flav wanted him to sign for 2 years or more but Alonso wanted to be free for 2009 if Renault turned out to suck as much as they did in 2007.
There were reports a while back that Alonso's wish for a 1yr contract was preventing any deal. Red Bull may have been one team willing to consider that, but it seems he has reached a compromise with Renault.
Does this mean that a move to Ferrari is still on the cards for 2009 :confused:
Yes, he has already signed for 2009... in his dreams :pQuote:

Alsonso may have insisted on a one year commitment due to Renault's poor performance in 2007.
On the other hand... Renault may have insisted on the one year contract... giving Renault an "OUT"...
because of Alonso's character flaws.
As good a driver as Alonso is... his attitude disrupts a team.
Yes, it disrupts 'a' team.....Mclaren.Quote:

;) I'm sure the same emotions that Renault felt in 2006 regarding Alonso... were in the McLaren team, last year.
