Will Alonso Move Next Year?

[quote="Alonso said"]
Fernando Alonso has revealed that he has not felt truly comfortable at McLaren since joining the Woking squad last winter.
Although he has won two races this season, the double world champion unexpectedly trails his rookie team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the points standings and has made an uncharacteristic number of driving errors.
In an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, Alonso admitted that he is finding it hard having a British team-mate in a British team – but said he had never expected it to be an easy situation.
“From the first moment, I wasn’t comfortable with everything,” he said.
“I'm in an English team, with an English team-mate who is doing a brilliant job.
"We knew that all the support and help would be going to him.
“I understood that from the start and I’m not complaining about it.”
The British media has hailed Hamilton as F1's new superstar and tended to overlook Alonso, but the Spaniard is philosophical about the hype.
"I am indifferent to it," he said.
"We know how they are and luckily the Spanish press have a little more respect than the English do."
Despite his misgivings, Alonso remains confident that his title chances are still good.
“I’m relaxed,” he said.
“I’m fine, though I know there is some impatience [due to] the way I arrived and how I am expected to dominate.
“I’m where I want to be and I have a clear chance of winning the title, which is what we want.”

Think Hamilton has him worried? I hope not, as I still think Alonso is the better of the two!

Yeah, i know, i just get a bit carried away when it comes to Ferrari... Jamesf288 said:
Anyway, that whinging little scrote wouldn't be fit to wear the prancing horse.
No, it would never do to allow Alonso to darken the estimable door of Maranello. 
What is required to be "fit to wear the prancing horse" - a twenty pound note and the address of the nearest Shell station?
