Alonso back to McLaren ?

Better not fill that baby with water, FIA will see that as a disguised mass damper.

And you might view the wringing handle as a moveable aerodynamic device.

Apart from that, like the colour scheme.........

I don't know, yellow seems to appropriately fit all of them, very well.....

i would say alonso is back looking for a deal, rather than the other way round. alonso maybe realises that he is not such hot property, and cannot dictate terms.

Ron is not a vindictive guy, but McLaren is his team, he loves it, Fernando betrayed it. Not a chance!

As for Fernando, his situation could only be 1,000 times worse than last year. Not a chance there either!

Yeah, FA can hardly come out demanding number 1 status for next season in the team after being beaten by his teammate this season. :

Maybe Alonso offered RD to work as a paydriver. Guess 100 Mio would be sufficient for 08.

I have it on good word that Ron has had second thoughts, and offered Alonso a chance to return to the McLaren organization. He's contacted Fernando about a critical position... that he would love to see Alonso take. And with this, he will be the #1 driver.

Does that ride meet the new requirements on traction control and have an engine that has been homologated? There is also the risk that you could store fluids to meet the minimum weight.

If this happens, are Ron and Lewis going to look stupid or what?
Not going to happen though.

[W8&C]

At least that move would make for a lively forum next year.

I think that either Fernando will return to Renault, or he;d take a year off and perhaps will go to N/H/L in Champ Car.

and the point difference between the two was exactly zero, yep that is a complete but kick okay..

I think that both parties would look extremely silly if they got back together. After their big announcement where they wished each other the best for the future, they'd be quite shame-faced to have to return to each other.

However, I think neither party has much of a choice. I don't think there are any drivers out there who could match Alonso - choosing anyone else would seem like desperation, and it's the same for Alonso - no other team would be able to do him justice. I still think that they should never have split in the first place.
