Money still writes the rules in F1. Until Ferrari's budget drops or Racing Point's increases to the level of Ferrari's, the Italians are still a better choice in the long run
Well this whole argument falls apart before it even begins because it’s just been learned Alonso was offered a seat with the pink MercedesManoah2u wrote: ↑15 Jul 2020, 23:06In Mercedes eyes - whether they're right or not - Alonso is 'persona non grata' because of the spygate scandal. I think that any team that is Mercedes-powered will not have Alonso.
Ferrari's been done. As for Honda, Alonso is 'persona non grata' there aswell, so Renault is the only option left.
It's too bad Alonso was so vocal about Honda's engine @ Mclaren. He was right, to be honest. And he is a very outspoken person. If anything, i think you could accuse Fernando of being 'tactless', but by no means malovalent. Unfortunately, Honda holds a grudge, so he can't get to a team with Honda. That means he won't replace Albon either. Imagine that RBR wanted Alonso. Won't happen.
It will be the same $145m next year already.
So, starting 2021?
Love that codswallop about Claire not letting him go.
Personally I don't think the racing will be as close as the FIA and FOM are boasting it will be.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑16 Jul 2020, 17:26Really can't wait to get to 2022 and see some close competition for race wins between all these amazing drivers along with the three legends of Alonso, Hamilton & Vettel. It's going to be mega! Hamilton will have a fight on his hands to add to those 8 WDC!
