Flavio is not Alonso´s manager for a decade at least. That´s how informed you are Mr. predictions :lol: #-o

well according to this article flavio was alonso manager last year,https://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-auto ... Grand-Prix.

Both flavio and alonso are close and i believe alonso believe in flavio. flavio might have inquired about a seat from horner. horner said no and flavio being flavio twisted the story and told alonso and alonso believe redbull wanted him. :lol:
For once, I can agree. It is a possibility, I just dont know how probable it is.

I am done with F1 for the time being. Will come back when McLaren is back where they should be and that’s never going to happen as long as Mansour and Brown are in place.

I have been witnessing this downfall for too long and just can’t take any joy anymore watching this sport. I am not an F1 fan, it’s one of the most boring racing classes there is.. I am a McLaren fan, but really don’t care whether they fight for P18 or P10. Should be for podiums.

We've seen this before - I'm afraid this is Williams-level "we've lost our way".

Once Alonso decided to retire from f1, the team is in panic. Everibody out of the sinking boat. I guess the good engineers still there are mailing for job elsewhere. End of the story, is gonna beb lotus and brahbam way.

The team is not in panic. Who spreads those foolish rumours. Haven't you seen the whole changes that they are doing inside? They are restructuring the team. Mclaren is not Lotus or Brabham to fade from F1. They are more than an F1 team. F1 is nothing without Mclaren.

This is when McLaren need your support most.

Also F1 isn't boring, did you watch qualifying?
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

Technically F1 is boring without the classic rivalry between Mclaren, Ferrari and Williams. Red Bull and Mercedes are just passing by. They have nowhere near the Fanbase of those three teams.

O, yeah right. F1 is boring, except for the rare time that it rains. Forgot to mention the last part. I switched it off after Q1, knowing it was going to rain in Q2 or Q3, but couldn’t be bothered anymore. Not solely because of McLaren’s awful performance I must say. But also because F1’s coverage in the Netherlands is horrible, as they think Max is the only driver in F1. If you thought Sky was biased, I promise the Dutch take it to a whole new level.

First of all I've been seeing F1 since 1984. Secondly you are unable to predict the future. Thirdly Mercedes and Red Bull are never gonna have the prestige like Mclaren ,Ferrari and Williams and they are passing by. It happened at least once with Mercedes in the past. F1 is nothing without Mclaren,Ferrari and Williams who have more than 50% of the F1 fanbase. It doesn't matter if Red Bull or Mercedes dominated the last 8 years. The results speak for themselves. F1 is in the worst position in terms of appeal in history.

Mclaren currently are restructuring the team and I am absolutely sure they will be back better than ever and dominate again and those that are bashing Mclaren will probably either eat their words or go crawl in a hole somewhere

It's easy to bash the team when they are at their lowest but I don't think it can change anything. They know where the problem lies.
