Today we take Monza, tomorrow the world

All the success has gone to Toro Rosso’s head. The Italian Grand Prix winners are consoling themselves at the thought of losing the driver who won the race for them by setting their sights on a former world champion. Team co-owner Gerhard Berger said he was interested in bringing Fernando Alonso to Toro Rosso, but conceded that the Spaniard is currently Formula One’s most sought-after driver. He said: “Of course I am interested (in Alonso). But so is everybody else.” 

Current team Renault and long-term admirers Ferrari are the favourites to capture Alonso for 2009.
