The Spoiler

Spaniard is NOT going to Honda, Ferrari or anywhere else

Fernando Alonso, the little tease, has still not announced who he’ll be driving for next season. But he has given his strongest hint yet that he’s staying at Renault: “I am 99 percent sure what I am going to do,” he said in interview with the Dutch magazine Formule 1 Race Report. “Just after Brazil, everyone will know,” he added.

It seems clear that Renault’s late-season surge - they have overtaken BMW Sauber as the third-quickest team on the grid - has played a major role in Alonso’s decision to stay put for one more year. He knows he probably won’t challenge for the world title in 2009, but with next season’s rule changes playing to Alonso’s ability to develop a car in tandem with a team, Renault can be the best of the rest, behind McLaren and Ferrari.

    Ludlow, you are sick to the bone.

    All your comments are full of hatred. Men, relax. And, by the way, saying that all the people who doesn’t like Hamilton are racist is in itself a racist statement.

    Don’t play always the dumb racist card. You are only helping the intolerants. People doesn’t like Lewis for being arrogant despite having a paved road to succes (unlike the other drivers).

    Look for the beauty in the world. Not everyone is against you or your golden-inmaculated-Lewis

    Alonso has gone right up in my estimation this season. I hated the hairy bastard last year, but believe he has the best of Mansell and Schumacher in him, he never gives up and has the race craft of Schuey. Plus he is fast as foook!
    Look forward to seeing him tackling Ferrari and Hamilton while sliding around on slick tyres! Bring on ‘09!

    I nominate A Ludlow as the biggest Hamilton fanboy on the internet. Sheesh, give it a rest. It may be hard for you to believe, but some people really do dislike Lewis for reasons other than race and/or jealousy.
