Alonso To McLaren (rumor, updates, etc...)

Long live the king!

 

Long term as well----

Fernando Alonso reveals he has made a 'long-term' commitment to his new F1 team | Fernando Alonso Profile | Formula 1 | Sky Sports

 

This has to be the strangest driver announcement I have ever heard of!

 

But as far as I heard it was not the strangest thing the ex-king did in the last couple of years

 

And at the same time he's not looking at shutting the Ferrari door. I am surprised that he's running back to Mclaren, considering how instable they are. The Honda engines are not even proven yet.

Well lets see if he will live up to his word, or be a nomad again if the Mclaren doesn't perform in 2 season timeline.

 

Long is a relative term. Alonso may consider two years with an option for a third long.

Either way an announcement is all but certain now that lewis is champion and wont want to run away from mercedes

 

As sad as it is McLaren is the smarter move for 2015.

 

It is the ONLY move for 2015 . He'd have taken a sabbatical otherwise IMO. Or end up in Lemans, like Webber.

 

True enough. But leaving Ferrari for Macca would be the smart move even if it wasn't forced.

 

Why David? They sucked like Ferrari too this year.

 

The Honda has more potential and the Scuderia will take time to get the new blood producing meaningful changes to the car.
Macca doesn't stay down for long unlike some other teams.

 

According to Ron, we should all know the fate of McLaren drivers this Thursday.

 

Something tells me JB is getting the short end of the stick. FU Ron.

 

+1 true, anyway that Hondo PU sounds a step in the right direction, even if it is just sound.

 

If they get rid of him I'll no longer be a mclaren fan (unless ham goes back there)

 

Keeping MAG would be a mistake, in my opinion. If BUT is out I hope he retires altogether, rather than going to a lesser series.

 

He should join Webber at le Mans.

 

Why do you think it was forced?

 

Forced by circumstances.
