He seems to be more and more vocal about his displeasure these days. Time is running out for him to be in a competitive car that can bring him another WDC. But... I still don't see him bailing out mid-season unless that is part of him walking away from F1. There is no real benefit for him to bail mid-season and expect to remain in the sport. It just sends the wrong message to any future team and sponsor.
I believe the oldest drivers in F1 today are Kimi (37), Massa (36) and Alonso at (35 going on 36 in a few months). How much longer is his F1 career going to last?

They all do the PR bit, though Lulu makes it pretty clear when he's unhappy; that's what I mean by being professional and he hasn't had to deal with a dog of a car for the last two years. Indeed, Button was the ultimate Gent.
True, not much time left for Alonso.
