Alonso to Red Bull....Webber to Renault?
Discussion
can't see it happening
Flav wants Alonso and will agree to the 1 year deal that Alonso wants
(as we all know Alonso's signed to Ferrari for 2009) The Renault boss refuses to sign Alonso for anything less that a 3 year deal - though what does a contract mean in F1 these days !
Can't see him going to Red Bull - think it's just as likely he'll sit out a year
Mclaren are making noises about Rosberg still - and Frank's apparently willing to sell him for a big cash deal
Flav's put another deadline in for tomorrow - sign or FO
but I'm sure Alonso's waiting for the FIA hearing next month
He's manager has said they will have a deal in place within 14 days
Would Red Bull sign him ?
It would be interesting - Alonso is a great driver - be interesting to see if he could pull out anything from the Red Bull
Webber to Renault ? (He's a Flav driver)
I think DC would give Alonso a hard time though - he'd just wind the crap out of Alonso

I think Keki (sp) and Nico would have something to say about that. I am one of the first to whinge about MS never having anyone in the same team who was even near his standard day in day out (let's be honest, Massa and RB have their days)but I think that it would be the wrong thing to do to send Nico there.Maclaren is almost guaranteed to have it's heart (even if practically they still treat both drivers equally)in LH's camp and LH has proved he is every bit as good (if not better IMO) than Nico day in day out.
Add to that the 'help' Williams is going to get from Toyota for signing a Japanese driver I don't think they will rush into anything 'for the money' this year at least.
F1 is a long term game, even if the pace of development, etc is lightening, and a few £mil today isn't going to make Frank's decision for him, unless he has a seat fitting booked in for Fonzo, when there are much bigger games afoot.
Indeed, depends on what happens to Renault, signing Alonso would make them a threat to Ferrari next year after all...
But seriously, Flavio may say he wants Fernando for more than a year but if he's really going to have an all-new line up for next year would anyone settle for Webber/Piquet Jnr? How different is that going to be to this year's pairing?

No we don't, and neither do you. There's no way Alonso will go to Ferrari while Kimi is there.woof said:

Where are you getting this from?! Bild-Zeitung reported that Frank's willing to sell

Like the reports of his further histrionics post Macca.......and sponsers being less than impressed........as well as the pressure from Reggie regards the 3 year take it or leave it.http://www.crash.net/motorsport/f1/news/157461-0/r...

A bit late to this topic (I'm actually searching for something else Flemke sais recently) but I would love to see Webber get a top drive, would finally silence the critics (or me...)
Webber a top drive - hahahaha - he will be lucky to be in F1 past the end of 2008 - Aussy Tourer awaitGassing Station | General Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
