    I agree with you. He is a fighter with a no good as they expected car and i believe he is one of the best (if not the best) on the grid.

    With Ricci around? I don't think Red Bull would want him. In fact, i think they rather groom Ricci to be their next WDC..

    Remy, you make a very valid point. But if they (Red Bull) wish to meld an experienced 2-time WDC w/ an up-and-comer, then that pair would be perfect. I'll bet RB wouldn't hurt their Spanish-speaking sales at all by hiring Alonso.

    Any team will think long and hard if a talent like Alonso comes knocking.

    No team would say no. None. He is the most capable driver in the series.

    I think that Mercedes (don´t change a winning team) and Red Bull (they have their own factory of drivers) would have some doubts at this moment. Unless Hamilton or Vettel got so pissed about something that they wanted to leave, I bet there won´t be changes in those teams till 2016. That only leaves McLaren for 2015.

    LOL! You know, there's something to be said about the merits of passing the superstars at Team SuperKrish. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    In the end probably not.
    But they'd give it consideration.

    What will happen to the Santander sponsorship if Alonso leaves? When does that deal expire?

    Probably they will stay as happened when he unexpectedly left McLaren.

    Kmag is quick, but his biggest issue that he manages to screw up most weekends. It's only his first year indeed, but he's made a lot of (costly) mistakes.

    Agreed, but guys like Ricciardo, kvyat and Bottas have made far fewer mistakes in their rookie year. Some of Kmags mistakes have been just stupid brain farts.

    Nice kid, obviously has talent to string together fantastic laps but it remains to be seen if he has the potential to even be a contender for the title. He has to get his **** together for the following races. He only has a 1 year contract, and with Boullier at the team, Grosjean stands a chance to replace him IMO (unfortunately).

    Grosjean is a good drive in demand. He has been approached by a number of teams including Ferrari. I do know this for a fact after the last 2 races Ive attended. K-mag is nice but young and inconsistent. Mclaren are making some poor driver choices with Kmag and Perez.
    Grosjean faired well against Kimi and has a good profile.

    Grosjean is a good driver but I find him about as interesting as a physics lecture.

    Whats your source on the Ferrari-Grosjean thing?

    I´ve read somewhere that Bouillier was seriously interested in bringing Grosjean to McLaren. Don´t know if true or just silly season.

    I think that is *much* more likely than Ferrari, who have said multiple times they want to keep kimi and Alonso on for next year. Boullier is Grosjeans manager too...which helps.

    If Magnussen fails to get his races together he will be replaced by Grosjean, I'm sure.
