Ecclestone: Alonso wanted to leave Ferrari

[Sage-sg]

Maybe Alonso is afraid Kimi=)))))

I can understand his frustration with Ferrari this year especially...but McLaren right now? unless he knows something about their next year's car we don't know.

Hardly think so mate! Depending on the drivability of the car I think Fred will ruin the freakin’ guy almost as mercilessly a he did to Felipe, especially if the car is once again not the easiest to handle. On the other hand If Ferrari produce a very easy car to be fast in then Kimi should be able to:
1) Almost be as fast as Zo, and capable of scoring the kind of points you would expect a decent driver to score, while helping Ferrari, and Fred to both championships.
2) Most likely get utterly thrashed by Fred, I mean he's just not quite in the same league as Alonso and will IMHO get destroyed. “Blown to the wall” is the expression I think I read The Black Knight use.
3) Receive remuneration for his work quite expeditiously and overall make good party in Italia.

There's a Spanish saying that goes something like this: don't sell a bear pelt without hunting it down first!

Alonso has already shown that he gets a bit temperamental if he has a fast teammate.

I expect this to be a fascinating battle. I suspect that by the time they get to Europe Alonso will be talking a lot of trash and Kimmi, will be........uhhhhh, not saying much.

This is why they want to keep him

“For me, they are both great,” the Brazilian told Spain’s AS sports newspaper, who in Brazil last weekend surveyed every driver on the grid for their opinion about Vettel versus Alonso.

“Vettel is the Champion,” Massa added, “Fernando is considered the best. You want me to say one? I won’t do that.”

Others are less diplomatic. “I think that in that Red Bull, Alonso would win even more easily than Vettel does,” said Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.

Nico Rosberg added: “I don’t know if Alonso is the best, but he’s one of the best, no doubt. Better than Seb? Maybe.”

Alonso’s fellow Spanish speaker, Mexican Sergio Perez, answered: “Although this year has been all about Vettel, it is clear to me that Alonso is the best.”

Weird!
Then again kimi could get hot with a Ferrari challenger that suites him

But that was "said" to As. I wouldn't give them any credibility at all.

That´s a given as it stands.
