With all the chat Flavio is putting out which I expect is much against his friend Bernie's wishes that Flavio is doing his best to get Fernando back. Sensible. Will Renault come up with the cash though. What/where would Santander do/go if Alonso left....Renault will I reckon on a discounted basis as Alonso may have approached them. Interesting.
Alonso would rather sit out F1 than go back to a team which has no chance of winning, what would it prove, he's in his prime and needs a car capable of challenging for titles. Renault need to improve drasticaly if they hope to tempt Alonso back, even if he has got itchy feet (which i think may be an exaggeration on the press's part)
Who would have thought McClaren would have been this strong this year after their lackluster year last year? Things change FAST in F1...Renault could easily be back in the thick of things next year.
I think it is highly possible. Plus I think Renault would be competitive again if FA returned.
C'mon - how many of you really believe that McLaren's turn around was due to an unknown Lewis or other factors?

I would really love to see FA win the championship - Then return to another team and win it again. I really wouldn't mind seeing FA at Ferrari. Keep those Latino's down south

Latinos? ROFL. Did you eat a giant stupid burger for lunch?Quote:

Kimi has been criticised at McLaren and ferrrari as something of give me the car, tell me where the switches are, and then simply puts his foot down.
Also have to wonder why Kimi's cars have had such bad luck--Mclaren where they constantly came apart and now ferrari where he is having the same mechanical troubles, and if LH and FA (along with MS and massa) are just easier on key components of the car.
But Kimi as number 2? Probably not going to work
