Alonso to Renault next year, you hear here first
No, it's been suggested in several places several times. Check the silly season thread for starters.

I would like to see Waffle leave asap. He's too far behind Alonso.
dont blame vandorne. blame the car, which is terrible. they need to address lot of issues with that car
Car is obviously not great but he definitely has to up his game. Out-qualified 9-0 and only 8 points to Alonso's 32. Today 0.3 sec slower with lighter car and more ballast.

Almost certain that's just the chassis number. One of the drivers would be using the A car and another the B car.

Sorry, what I meant was that this wasn't the first place we heard it.
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

He's probably saying that it is a 'done deal' and you heard about this 'done deal' here first.

To replace?

As Alonso is forced to start from the pit lane, is it not better to introduce the new MGU-K??

Edit: they mounted the new MGU-K to avoid more penalties

I wonder why Alonso to Renault has not been more seriously discussed?

Overnight however, McLaren opted to change the front wing on the McLaren, almost certainly following damage incurred by running over the notorious kerbs, as well as the pitot static tube.

What is the "pitot static tube" ?

Does it mean they did not have any more wings of the same spec as he used in quali, afaik they are allowed to change damaged parts if they're identical.
