I'm sure Button's ego would just love that!Quote:

Even Schumacher left Benetton after winning 2 championships to look for greener (as in money) pastures.

I think the only team Alonso would go to would be Ferrari, which would mean partnering Raikkonen. That wouldn't be a big surprise.
But at the same time, I think in the intra-team battle, if not the WDC points table, Alonso scored a significant victory over Hamilton. Lewis no longer has the "I'm just a nice lucky kid who happens to be faster than a double world champion" image. Now the kid gloves are off. Both drivers were childish, but whereas Alonso acted against Lewis, Hamilton's actions were ultimately against the team.
Alonso's not happy with Ron, but he seems to get on okay in the team. Hamilton has basically said "I'll do what suits me first and foremost" to his team, even if he has now supposedly cleared the air. When you look at their salaries, and Hamilton's swelling ego, I'd say Lewis would be the one to go. If I were Massa I'd be nervous now. But in the end, I think McLaren will have the number 1 car next year.
Alonso's future in doubt
All rumours of course :dozey:Quote:
McLaren expressed hope world champion Fernando Alonso will complete his multi-year contract with the team, amid growing speculations that the Spaniard is looking to leave the outfit at the end of this season
I think Hamilton will stay and Alonso will leave, don't know where though but I'd like him to go to BMW to do a Renault with them.
Maybe RD should go since he does not seem able to properly manage the team.
For a man who leads the team that is leading the WCC, and whose drivers are 1-2 in the WDC, he's not doing badly, and that's in addition to what he's achieved with McLaren since 1980.Quote:

Alonso appears to be reacting the same way Nelson Piquet did when faced with Nigel Mansell in 1986/7 :dozey:
I've been reading that other teams are attempting to cash in on the whole debacle by trying to persuade Alonso to sign with them. Are they insane?? :D
What happens if he goes to another team and gets his backside kicked by that driver too?? More toys thrown out of his pram, handbags at dawn?
Lets not forget Alonso threw a major wobbly at Renualt too, before he left!
I think Alonso is a very talented driver, but I'm starting to think that if I were a team leader I'd not consider him worth all the hassle. Sorry Donks ;) :D
I think you are right on all counts there.Quote:

I don't see Alonso in Mclaren next season. He has 2 options now, one with Renault (where he will find all he is missing in Mclaren) or in BMW (team with future and he can do a renault there like someone said above).
Alonso jumping ship, automatically Lewis will get more than $ 25 milions dollars for his contract (more than what Ferrari is proposing him today) so he can stay at Mclaren otherwise both drivers moving, for sure RD will F****swivel!!!
