I can't say that I'm an Alonso fan, but he does add some drama/excitement to F1. Hopefully Vettel will find a seat next year too. Alonso, Vettel and Kimi are three characters that I'd like to see remain in F1 for awhile longer, even if they aren't my favorite drivers.

BTW, how do we know when a Formula One team principal is lying? His/her lips are moving. But if Renault bounces Ricciardo (a driver who I do really like), I hope that he doesn't have to sit out and wait for his McLaren seat. Course, that would mean Ferrari would have to bench Vettel in order to take on Sainz. So hopefully all of this will take place at or near the end of the season.
