Not sure where you draw your (IM)O from, but that seems to be about what's gonna happen.
We'll have to just come back to that another day...
I'm one of those guys who thinks that Alonso is the most rounded driver around and albeit by a small margin the best there is. I'm afraid this isn't about his abilities which in my clearly biased mind not in question but about the market place.

Anything is only worth what people are prepared to pay for it, its basic market dynamics. If there is only one seat available thats worth having then the team that has it has the whiphand in negotiations, not the driver. Do you really think Alonso can turn to McLaren and say $40 million or nothing when if McLaren decline him he really does end up with nothing?
