I don't recall a single driver who instilled more fear when seen in your mirrors than Yuji Ide. :p

I agree, and Alonso has been that driver many, many times. Had he made the right choices and landed in better cars, I think he would be close to or on par with any other records held by those that had such fortune. In terms of purely driving skill, I would find it hard to name any other driver in recent years that is better.
I'll miss Fernando big time... and he wasnt just great, he was fucking great! end of...
Right choices .
Climate change in all the teams he left , left him in bad luck .
He's not so disruptive , if you ask Fisichella , a guy he soundly beat .
But ask someone more affected by a confident toreador beside him and you'll get a different answer , or a pout .
Apparently, Alonso claims Redbull offered him Ricciado's seat and he rejected it. Horner is also quoted as saying that no offer was made to Alonso. The whole thing kind of stinks.
Let me quote Joe Saward:
Quote:
Well, I'll tell you a story. In Baku I was talking to a senior Red Bull Racing individual known as Christian and Flavio Briatore approached: "Oh God," Christian said (Sorry if this sounds like Pilgrim's Progess). "He's trying to sell me Alonso again. We don't want him." I was not surprised by responded: "You don't want him?". Christian looked to the skies and said: "We have no interest in him at all". I will leave it to you to figure out who is telling the truth in this case...
Stinks of Alonso lying his ass off! This sounds like Alonso’s way of getting back at Horner for his comments saying he creates havoc wherever he goes. He has decided to create his own bit of havoc in return. Alonso’s anything but a saint and this behaviour is right up his alley. I don’t believe he did not know about crash gate either. The chances of him lying are very high.
Folks, wake up from the summer break. The Belgian GP will be this weekend.
I thought Freds manager is Luis Garcia Abad :confused:
and then the rains came!
alright the boss :D
Honda won't supply Alonso IndyCar entry
Hardly a surprise, anyway - the only thing that baffles me is that the news have come out so late, considering Alonso's acrimonious split with the team. Makes me wonder whether they'll give him a car with a Chevrolet engine for 2019, or if Alonso was just a bit too quick to leave F1 without having a backup plan in place.
Don't worry about Fred he'll land on his feet!:champion:Quote:

Maybe gone , but maybe not for good .
"I feel I need to recharge my batteries a bit next year, but in 2020, of course it can be a possibility to have a full season in IndyCar, a full season back in F1, or a full season in another series."

A fitting farewell as Fernando's first teammate at Mclaren hugs him good bye. Adversary gives way to mutual respect.
