As an Alonso fan, I´d love to see both Lewis and Max at Ferrari, two rivals discarded :mrgreen: :twisted: :twisted:


Sorry but I find it fun when I read people talking about the bad decision Alonso made when leaving Ferrari, when they´re exactly the same they were when he was there, the eternal second team who can only fight for some victory from time to time, wich is the reason he left.

A competitive Ferrari at the start of the season, wich slowly becomes uncompetitive as the season goes on, is anything but a surprise
Indeed he really solved that problem, no more second place for him.
He said himself more than once he does not care if fighting for 2nd or 12th, so even when that sarcastic statement is pretty usual on internet, three years after his departure from Ferrari, Ferrari continue proving him right season after season.

Yes Vettel is still the leader of the WDC, as Alonso was several of his 5 seasons in red. People have short memories. But there is a trend in last two GPs wich is far from new in Ferrari, their impresive start of the season was just that, an impresive start of the season wich will evaporate as the season goes on

I really hope I´m wrong and we can see some real battle for the title instead of another walk in the park for Mercedes, but I´m afraid I´m not :(

Errr...
Alonso in 2010 got 1 win; 3 podiums the first half and 4 wins, 7 podiums the second half... where is out development there?? In fact he entered the last race in P1 of the WDC but then couldn't overtake Petrov.

But yeah I agree a change was probably good for him for new spirit even if it all went downhill, with hindsight it is easy to judge.

Do you think if he leaves Button automatically will come back or do McLaren find a new driver??

Alonso seemed strangly happy in Baku.

I'll chalk this one up to a rumor at the moment.

I wouldn't say this is set in stone just yet. So far the article says "considering"

New chassis...mcl 32b
New chasis needs to pass crash test, then aproved for FIA, before you can use it.

İf it is true ( I don't think it's true) that means Mclaren & Mercedes deal is signed and will start in this season which means Wolff lied. They can't do a chassis just for trying a PU for a test
