Anyone fancy giving me odds for Fernando in a Ferrari next year?
I'm surprised Mr Todt hasn't already suggested it. :D

Unless he has changed his mind, otherwise Alonso said he will never drive for Ferrari. But rumours are saying that Ferrari is chasing LewisQuote:

If Alonso replaces Fisi or eve Heiki, he will definitelt be #1 there and there won't be this swapping of who comes in when during Q3 - Alonso will be favoured whatever the fuel strategy may be.
BMW has Heidfeld and Kubica. Rumours have been going round all year that Nick wants/will be leaving. However, a swap there may not give him a clear #1 as Kubica has been a surprise there and is very fast all the time. I could see Mercedes being happy with Heidfeld coming to McLaren just the same.
Ferrari won't cough up Kimi, especially since he is performing better with each race. Massa isn't that slow either, and if Ferrari can get their drivers to work well together, having Alonso muscle his way into the team might prove disruptive.
I can't see Alonso agreeing to go to any of the other teams. But I really don't see Alonso remaining at McLaren unless there is a quantum attitude improvement by him. Not talking to his team mate only disrupts the entire team, and won't endear him to anyone at Mclaren. In fact, I just wonder what his own team's mechanics think of his shenanigans last weekend - they worked very hard and the team must feel they were robbed of a podium by his antics, not to mention the WCC points.
I think Ferrari would be making a mistake in chasing Hamilton. They have the makings of a very strong line-up with Kimi and Massa. Kimi is quicker than Hamilton and Massa is the perfect foil to keep the Finn sharp. Kimi should be the focus of their championship challenge for a good few years to come.
Forget Hamilton and Alonso. They have a damn near perfect line-up now.
It is Ferrari who have to change mind...not Alonso ;)Quote:

But, is Ferrari really chasing Alonso or is all this just rumours circulating since Q3? Maybe Alonso's massager is looking to Ferrari for a pitpass :p :
I think that if Alonso left McLaren, there would be a queue of talented drivers wanting to drive for Ron Dennis. I see Nick Heidfeld, Mark Webber, Kubica, Heiki, all chasing the vacant seat. Even bunsen.Quote:

Hamilton and Alonso will stay at McLaren knocking several shades out of each other for a while yet.
why would Alonso go back to Renault. their time is over, he will not be able to win thetre. the only options would be Ferrari or maybe BMW, and i reckon they'll be full up for a while yet, and at either Alonso probably wouldn't get No1 treatment.
Hamilton and Alonso maky not like each other much right now, but they have a mutual repesct for each others abilities, all they have to do is woprk tegether, not be best buddies, and at Mclaren they will, in all likelihood, both get a chance to win titles.
this will blow over and the 2 intensley competitve and very talented drivers will carry on trying to put one over on each other, but both will now be expected not to let anything like this weekend happen again, or they'll be out - simple
