Fernando Alonso has psychic powers

MADAME NANDO

Did the Spaniard know about Honda’s fate?

“I’m getting the words… economic downturn.”

Earlier this year, Fernando Alonso was offered a very fat contract by Honda, which would earn him almost £8m a year. But he turned them down, a decision that now looks remarkably prescient.

Or perhaps Nando has psychic powers?

Joking aside, Alonso must be a very relieved man today. Had he chosen to go with Honda, he might have been forced to take a year off from F1 (unless Ferrari could somehow manage to buy out Kimi Raikkonen’s contract in double-quick time).

[…] So, even though we have lost one of the biggest spenders in the sport, everyone else seems to be in good spirits for next year. Alonso is lucky… […]
