A terrible blow for Alonso fans.

If he is soo good why McLaren didn’t go for him?

The only explanation I have is that they did not wanted to annoy Minardi Fan…LOL

He happens to have a contract with Flavio Briatore - why would he want to send poor Fernando off into the grasp of the evil Ronald Dennis???

Flavio wants to use Fernando to help make Renault-Elf World Champions!

I think they made the right choice, no offence to Alonso of course

Plus,on the good side, it means he's available for Ferrari in 2003

Who cares.

In the end Fernando will be a WDC weather it be with Flavio, Ron or someone else.

For those of you who don't know Ferrari actually tried to get Alonso at the end of last year. The deal was that he would go to Prost until he had enough experience to join Ferrari. Alonso rejected the contract because he didn't want to be stuck at Prost for a long time so he signed with Briatore

Very true Minardi Fan

I'd also thought the Tomas Enge put in a good drive today.

So then where is he next year then?!?!? No-one has answered that question!!!

Hasn't he already got a contract with Minardi anyway next year.

As for where he may go, I don't see him going to either McLaren or Ferrari. He's being groomed at Minardi so he can drive for Renault later on, most likely beside Trulli.

It appears Renault this time around will not be the home of just Frenchies. (a la Prost, Arnoux, Tambay, Jabouille who all drove for the team at one stage or another. Cheever and Warrick were the only non-Frenchies)
