Alonso could reunite with McLaren
Discussion
Hell - stranger things have happened this season !!
Speculation surrounding Fernando Alonso's uncertain future has taken yet another sharp turn.
The Spanish newspaper Diario AS claims that, despite their recent unhappy split, McLaren has joined the race to accommodate the 26-year-old Spaniard in 2008.
Honda has seemingly dropped out of the running, but Renault, Red Bull and Toyota are thought to have presented Alonso with standing offers for next season and beyond - with none willing to accept his demands for a single-season deal.
AS reports that McLaren has reopened the lines of communication with Alonso's management after Spanish team sponsors reacted badly to news of the split after just one year of collaboration.
Almost unbelievably, McLaren is now considered a real contender to welcome Alonso back to the Mercedes-powered team for 2008, due to Ron Dennis' similar desire for a merely one year contract.
AS claims the response from Alonso's camp so far has been composed, followed by the presentation to McLaren of a list of conditions, such as the freedom to determine independent race strategies.
But with Ron Dennis still in charge of the team, the newspaper speculates that a reunion is "unlikely.'
