I see it from the way other than expectation to cash down bitterness he had during he drove McLaren, but how good he will develop a car from the 4th in the championship.

This is really a big job, the policy of the use of MES for the series will be another task from which McLaren will have some benefit for the Renault to fight against.

If both parties satisfied with the result, it could probably the single season contract to be extended. Who would want to hire Alonso other than Renault? Ferrari has said that Kimi is stronger than FA, unless if he can prove a miracle this year to make their eyes open.

Why would Ferrari want Alonso?
If piquet beats Alonso this year, crybaby`s reputation will sink even further.

No you are right LH did not threaten to my knowledge like FA did,

let examine it: In the privacy of an internal meeting, the morning after being docked five places (which was enough to cost FA a wdc), FA made his "threat", (assuming it was such a threat) to RD who in turned panicked, apparently knowing full well what was going on with all the testing, and it was RD who ran off at the mouth to Max.

Instead LH ran his mouth direct to the fia or through daddy to the FIA, at Monaco which resulted in a formal investigation by the FIA and at Hungary, he started the big stuff by refusing to obey the arrangment insisted upon by Mac per prior races to give each their shot at the last lap on lightest tanks Q.

And what did FA do to ever cost his team mate five grid positions or cost LH anything at anytime? NOTHING
What did FA ever actually do to carry out his private "threat" to cost Mac the penalty of wcc and 100 million? Nothing
What did LH do to cost Mac the penalty of wcc points and 100 million? everything

So you are right!!! LH never merely "threatened" to report anything. He actually did it in person or through daddy.

Happy now? :D

Is that a known fact, or just an assumption that Ron knew everything?

Again, is that fact or fiction that can be backed up?

Well RD sure panicked like a coack roach when the light is turned on

but the FIA investigation sparked by LH's mouth that was announced, demonstrates that fact beyond contestation :D

Or, it could just be that, having been informed of the fact by FA, Ron did the decent thing.

Until someone can actually prove otherwise, I am prepared to give RD the benefit on his personal knowledge and involvment.....

Do you hace any proof that FA threatened to blackmail McLaren????
Oh yes, an statement from Ron Dennis. And do you think everything you read??? even more do you believe in all that Ron Dennis says??? cause if i have learned something this year is that this guy is big liar, nothing more and nothing less. So i would not believe anything this guy has said over the seasson. Period.

Back to the thread what Fernando has done is just common sense. He found himself in a very bad situation this year after the Brazil GP. To continue with the team but letting hamilton take the n1, or to leave by signing a press release stating that he had an equal chance to fight for the championship so after all it had been a good seasson. As far as the spanish media can go with their "so called" news, the latter option included a clause that says he can not bash McLaren in the media telling the truth of what have happened.

Fernando's dream is to drive for Ferrari one day. If that will happen or not only the future will tell, but he is at least taking the steps needed to fullfill his dream. First he prevented Lewis from wining the WDC (overtaking him on a clealy inferior car at Brazil), and second he has a contract with Renault that allows him to go to another team in 2009 or 2010.

All in all Ferrari were very happy with Fernando after the Brazilian GP :)
