McLaren drivers annouced: Alonso and Button

I´m glad that MacLaren trusted Jenson for Another couple of years. Think he can be a match for Fernando.

I wonder what St. Devote has to say about this? :idea:
Really I do! :)

Or at least a slightly better match than Kimi was... :andrea: :p

Or at least more like the partnership in the Mercedes A/B situation... :andrea: :p

I wonder if you read that article in henners' post, where both Ron's (going back on promises made to Alonso) and Ham's (even Ron hints that it was ham who started the bickering) roles in the 2007 fiasco are at last mentioned in the English press.
... It takes 3 to tango! :bandit:

McLaren is the team he famously said in 2006 that he most wanted to drive for in F1. The team he admired as a child because of Senna and Prost. I hope this time it works out and they get their act together and give him the car he deserves. I want to see an Alonso vs Hamilton title challenge again in future!! :)

The thing about Alonso is you always get his A game. He has been a bit of a polarizing character, but that is partly because he is so damn honest about his team, and his chances. He is also very good at testing, and assisting in the development of the car, probably underrated in this arena by many. In Jense' I really think you get about the same thing to a slightly lesser degree, but without the attitude, I mean he is a proper Brit. Personally I'll take an ounce of talent, over a pound of propriety. At any rate I would think that all concerned parties have learned from the past, and have a reasonably good game plan. I really hope the McLaren-Honda package is competitive, because inquiring minds really do want to know how loudly Fred will be booed if he makes the podium at Monza! :laugh:
