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