Well... I guess it's almost official on Alonso...

In 2022 there will be new regulations, right? So Alonso has a chance to clinch the title.

 

What TV network in Spain holds the broadcast rights for F-1?

Seems to me that Alonso jumped the gun a bit a couple of years ago when he
got into a tie-up with Spanish broadcaster Movistar to broadcast the entire Indy Car
season and he stood to make a good deal of money from the deal as a result.

Whatever happened with this?

Sound familiar????

Fernando Alonso: Renault is my family, my fondest memories in Formula One with my two World Championship titles, but I’m now looking ahead.

Alonso: It’s a great source of pride and with an immense emotion I’m returning to the team that gave me my chance at the start of my career and which now gives me the opportunity to return to the highest level. I have principles and ambitions in line with the team’s project.

Alonso: Their progress this winter gives credibility to the objectives for the 2022 season and I will share all my racing experience with everyone from the engineers to the mechanics and my team-mates. The team wants and has the means to get back on the podium, as do I.

Welcome back Fernando!

 

If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

 

This guy is worst than the serial killers in bad movies, that everyone think are dead and keeps emerging out of the waters to kill someone else..please, stay dead once and for all!!!What a waste of seat!
Cyril will soon find out the mess he got himself into....

 

Pedro a gift for you!

 

Well we know that whatever the results with Senor Fernando it won't be boring and Renault has certainly improved the quality of their driver line up every year since 2016. I really look forward to seeing him on the grid again Abiteboul won't let him do the Indy 500 though so this year is his last realistic chance.

This pretty much means Vettel is out for next year at least unless Red Bull or team pink decide to spring a major surprise....but why would they.

 

Some of us know Pedro's love for Alonso.

 

Not RedBull. They are set. I understand the relationship between Seb/Marko/Horner BUT team pink is a possibility.

 

Well we know that Lance isn't going anywhere. Checo?

 

No not Perez, I was thinking that daddy isn't going to keep sonny in the car forever unless he does better. He looked ok this past weekend but it is a very short lap, let's see what Lance does on more challenging circuits.

 

Lance seems to do best on high speed circuits.

 

He could pull a "Massa" and go to Williams.

 

With a structured plan on returning to the top...say a ten year plan;-)?!

 

Took you a few hours to react, this time? What were you doing, taking a nap? He's doing it just to annoy you, Pedro...he's only 38, he might stay for another ten years or so.


Rgds

 

There you go Fernando (the creature from the) Lagoono Hey don't get a coronary please;-)

No Ocon is locked in, he is very fast, some rate him at the level of Max and Charles though last weekend he was a bit sub par compared to Daniel but he did say he was rusty after not racing last year. Ocon's problem is he is not a team player and he had some very nasty battles with Perez at team pink...imagine a collision between him and Alonso next year woohoo that would bring some tension....

 

If by "the top" you mean Formula E, then yes. Most definitely.

 

I am an Alonso fan too and i really like the fact that he is back but there is a big BUT...
