    Alonso has Honda seat fitting [Rumour]

    http://eurosport.yahoo.com/29112007/...t-fitting.html

    Can this possibly be?

    Is it a one year deal?

    Has Honda made another coup with Brawn now Alonso?

    does this mean that Davidson might be set for McClaren?


    IMO honda had an off year in 2007 based on 2005 & 2006 the car seemed to be getting better ansd at leas was a threat to podium

    If they can regain that type of form... watch out

    Now How would Button and Alonso coexist?

    Or has Alonso now acccpeted co-equal status with any team

    ( I suspect if he was trully biding his time for Ferrari in 2009 then his status with Kimi on the team or Massa -if Kimi leaves- would not be a #1 and #2 situation)

    I have to say, i did not see this coming

    If it is a one year deal, what would motivate honda to do such a deal


    Last but not least, does Honda have that much say with Super Aguri that they can cast off RB and his disproportionate salary to Super Aguri,

    What exactly is the nature of their relationship/agreement?

    This makes more sense to me than any of the other rumours. Going to Honda for 1 year would be pointless. The one year thing is not something I ever bought into. Alonso isn't going to Ferrari. If he demanded a 1 year deal from some teams, its not because he wants to be free to join Ferrari. Honda is going to win again and Alonso would be smart to get on board now. I don't think he has any reason to be concerned about Button.

    He will have to hope then that Honda make a decent car for next year otherwise he's going to have a terrible year.

    We might call that „to do a JV“ in retrospect !

    Only if Ron has been drinking booze for 2 months in row.

    Anyway, Alonso at Honda would be pretty interesting, it seems he, much like myself, dont rate Button very highly. Honda is probably ready to offer him big bucks and Alonso knows he is in a difficult situation, so why not get good money out of it.

    Without traction controll, I think things are going to change next year. With Ross running the show, Honda will win again. It may not be next year but it will come. MS went to Ferrari and was patient while the car evolved. Fred needs to do the same at Honda.

    "It wasn't just Alonso that has a seat fitting..."

    Did Michael need a new seat for the new car?

    The sad thing about this is that it would mark the end of Barrichellos career, I dont think he would care much about having to drive for Super Aguri
