F1 closed season chit chat

So Alonso has gone from VodMcMerc , with RedBull or Renault the likely destinations . Sports worst kept secret

I hope he just gets back to be a racing driver next year and stops acting like such a bellend. Red Bull seems like an odd choice, I thought Webber and Coulthard were both signed for next year? Bound to be a German driver going to fill Alonso's vacated seat at McLaren though it would be great if Red Bull did a swap with Webber for Alonso, with Webber taking the McLaren seat. Would be a great move for Webber and maybe give him a car that can demonstrate just how good he is. Surely McLaren won't go with two young drivers?

Where'd you see that??

[JohnG]

I've just heard someone say that there could be a clause in Alonso's contract saying he can't join one of the main teams so big speculation about him going to Red Bull.

[JohnG]

The exact phrase was that there could be a clause in his divorce contract stating that he can't join a manufacturer backed team.

I really dont like the guy so hopefully he will go to a really **** team he was a bad WC.
I am very interested to learn who takes his seat though!

[miceri]

I'm with you on that one.

Most f1 drivers would complain and bitch to get what they want.

But to threaten your boss and toss your toys out of the pram if they won't call you no.1 is a bit rich. The guy needed to prove.

And ultimately he did. The result was not how if envisiged it I imagine!!!

That is the single greatest comment I have ever read.Awesome !

Good riddance to Alonso. I hope Rosberg goes to McClaren now.

What about Button going, it would be an all English pairing for an English team.
It would also show how good Button really is, it may just be the chance he is craving.

Think he just signed a new deal with honda

What is it about Webber, ITV thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread, I just can't see it. As for Button it ain't happening is it.

I can see Mclaren going for Rosberg or Sutil.

As for Alonso I would like to see him off.

People say Schumi got his own way but Alonso has taken it to a whole new level.

Where's me pram?

Does that mean anything in the world of sport these days. Im sure that he would jump at the chance of joining McC, given the opertunity.

But could he afford to do it again ?

[moby125]

Well thats it. Button bought himself out of the Williams contract, thinking Honda would be a better bet!

I think Williams had a pretty good year with Rosberg & Wurz. Also Natterjack had a good run at Brazil. Possible signing for next year??
