Alonso
Saw a rumor on BookFace that Honda has paid Ferrari the 30m$ buyout and that they will announce something at the Japanese GP. Bad news for Jenson if so. I can't believe the McLaren will be that much better than the Ferrari but I guess we'll see. My disdain for all things Alonso wants to see the new honda engine be garbage compared to the Merc. That'll teach him.

Re: Alonso
Very interesting indeed!!! For me that's the "triple play" I'm looking for. McLaren Honda and Alonso. 2015 will be interesting.

Re: Alonso
It's a great rumour, but I just worry that, if the Honda doesn't work so well, Ferdie could be stuck in another poor car for another year. Here's hoping it all works and he can be back where he belongs - on the top step (I'm a fan in case you couldn't guess).

But how do we know the mclaren will be a good car? They have the best engine currently and Ferrari is outperforming them. Could be another step back for Nando.

Re: Alonso
I'm with you on this one, personally I believe Ferdie has reached that stage in his career, where he's better with the Devil he knows than the Devil he doesn't...generationx wrote:It's a great rumour, but I just worry that, if the Honda doesn't work so well, Ferdie could be stuck in another poor car for another year.

It took Schuey five years to take Ferrari to the top step again, I believe, NO, I'm convinced Ferdie can do it also...
I hope he doesn't go back to M-m-m-m-m-Mc-m-m-m... the M-Team. But we'll see
I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting, even when there's only a slightest chance.

Re: Alonso
It's easy for Ron Dennis and Alonso to say now that they've put the past behind them, but how will they act if Honda has teething problems out of the box? Will Dennis suddenly remember that he was exiled to the wilderness because Alonso didn't like the perceived favoritism of Hamilton? Will Alonso find more spies at Woking? More F1 soap operas in the making!

Re: Alonso
Doesn't make any sense to get a driver in who is weak in setting up cars and fails consistently to get on with his team mates. McLaren need two reasonably experienced drivers that can work together as a team to advance their collective cause. Assuming Button gets the push, a rookie and a racer sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Re: Alonso
I love a good rumour. Just can't see Alonso back at Mclaren. If he was going to drive a sure fire winner then maybe it could work but have Mclaren got back in their stride and can Honda come straight in and win. I don't see it myself. Alonso and Button would make a nice team tho.
