Scuderia Toro Rosso has announced that Carlos Sainz will join the team with immediate effect. It means that our driver line-up for the 2015 season is now established as Max Verstappen and Carlo Sainz.
I think he would make a good No.2 driver if paired with someone like Hamilton or Alonso so that the team can be sure of scoring solid points towards the WCC...Racer X wrote:Its sad but perhaps true that Hulk like Di Resta and Sutil might never get a top team drive. Hes strong well rounded but he needs to get some podiums..
Alonso's contract contains a clause that opens the potential exit to the Spaniard if he is not within 25 points of the championship leader on September 1, according to sources.

Ferrari can't be that stupid.

“There has been a lot of talk since last summer but from my mouth there never came any interest to leave Ferrari or any words saying l would join another team.
“There was a lot of speculation, which is not disturbing but it created a little bit of tension and stress. Yet you also feel happy and proud that the best teams have an interest in you.”

The truth is in the middle, at the moment, he wants to stay and complete what they started, but in the next 'moment' that could change.SectorOne wrote:Key words: "I want to win here and finish the job that we start some years ago,”andartop wrote:Key words: at the moment
He´s not gonna finish that job this year so judging by his own words it seems pretty certain that he´s not going anywhere soon.
At the end of next year yes. But right now it seems rumors and people who want to see what they want to see, the only thing keeping Alonso´s seat at Ferrari uncertain.ScottB wrote:Presumably he's happy to stay, hoping / expecting a better car next year, but if that won't happen, he could decide to leave...
Possibly, though I'm sure he will be keeping a keen eye on how next year's car and engine are coming, and looking for assurances. If he can't get them, and say, Mclaren are talking to him about how good the Honda engine is going to be, it could turn his head.SectorOne wrote:At the end of next year yes.
