Generals and Majors

I'm very curious as to where Fern Alonso is going to race next year. While I've already spoken of this in a past entry, I can't help but wonder. While I truly do not expect him to be at McLaren next year the question is posed "Where else is there to go?" and that's a very good question indeed.

Obviously Renault is the answer that makes the most sense. With them two sets of championships were bagged in a two year succession. Then The Fern left and Renault has a shit season. While it can't all be down to the drivers lack of pace, you have to wonder, considering Alonso claims to have brought some time to McLaren after their rather weak season last year. However, I think Renault made a not so great car this year and have a rookie and a not so great driver. McLaren made a really good car and have the two best drivers. Though there's always that element of wonder. While I expect to see Alonso back at Renault, nothing will surprise me.

What I'm most curious about is what happens to the driver market as a whole once Alonso lands at wherever it is he is to land for next year. While most teams have their lineup confirmed for next year anything can change. I've read of buying and selling of contracts recently and it could happen for sure.

There are stories of Massa talking to Toyota about Ralf Schumacher's soon to be vacated seat, which could only mean that Ferrari want Alonso. What bothers me about this is that Ferrari claimed in the past they had no interest in Alonso (while looking for a Michael Schumacher successor) and purportedly Alonso confirmed this by saying Ferrari never rang him. Now after all this spy shit Ferrari are sniffing around him?! I joking said awhile back that Ferrari and McLaren could swap Kimi for The Fern, but that was in jest for it seems the majority of Alonso's problem with his current team is the clear lack of number one status. So having Kimi and Fern in a team together could get fucking ugly. We know Massa can be a good lackey, he proved this when he was Scumi's toady. But I don't see Kimi accepting this. We know Alonso won't either. So it would be pretty lame if Massa gets booted and a whole new world of shit stirs up at Ferrari.

Watch, Alonso joins Ferrari and next year around July Fernie goes to the FIA with information that Ferrari is spying on other teams and also knows where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.
