Alonso's move seems more and more likely as McLaren continue to push for his signature. The market is probably stuck on that as the moment, as his signature would make the informed hypothesis of Croft possible, which may be why Hulk hasn't got a deal in his pocket yet.
Certainly a reasonable view. According to Eddie Jordan Hulkenberg was off to Force India but I think all of these proposed deals hinge on money, sponsorship and the status of other drivers and that's what takes the time. A deal could be largely done only for something to come up and a driver to merry-go-round to joining another team. I expect Alonso to leave Ferrari if indeed a way can be found to extract him from all the contracts and commercial deals. It really makes no sense for him to be at Maranello if all he's doing is waiting for 2015. He's the key to the driver market now I think. I can't see Hulkenberg signing anything until that's settled.
As Eddie Jordan said to Martin Whitmarsh today "If you were happy with your drivers you would have signed them by now". That's about the size of it.
