Looks like Button is getting ready to bail and join a grown up series for men rather than boys. He is mates with both Webber and Wurz so makes sense. he is also pretty tight with the Buncombe's, who have a clear link to Nissan. Personally I think Nissan would move heaven and earth to get Button into the team. Porsche already have a big driver salary to pay I think. Back in the playground, I am wondering if Alonso has over played his hand and his bluff been called. There are a number drivers who's careers are on the up and his has, well peaked at best. |

If you can't get TV airtime by winning stuff, drum up some controversy instead.

Agreed, Fernando Alonso like him or otherwise drags that Italian piece of manure around the race track better than anyone else I could think of..

Agree - Alonso is right at the sharp end, I'd personally go with rating him the most complete currently. How long that'll be the case is anyone's guess so best to grab him whilst he's available. |

Alonso tried a swap with Hamilton? If that's for real, he must be pretty ******* dumb to think Hamilton would want to leave the most dominant team in F1 for years to go to the reds, who haven't won a race in 1.5 years.
A swap with Rosberg might be a little more realistic. But Rosbergs proven himself to be a good and very close #2 to Hamilton. By next year he'll probably have settled into that #2 role better, less controversy, the 1 will probably be on Hamiltons car. Why doesn't ALonso just sign a 1 year contract with McLaren with hopes to displace Rosberg in 2016? Could be his last big shot though. If he has to start anew building the Mclaren/Honda relationship. It's doubtful they'll be contenders next year, if they're contenders the following year in 2016, which is what Alonso would be hoping, then a third year will be 2017. At that point Alonso will be 36 and will certainly be past his peak. I think the last 1.5 yrs of Alonso's career haven't seen him that brilliant anyway, he's perhaps slowen a bit. Despite Kimi's problems. Is he still the best in F1? I think if he joined Mercedes in 2016 I'd place all bets on Hamilton coming out on top, especially if Lewis has 3 wc's by that point and is no longer making mistakes. |
