I understand the dislike for drivers, but taking every opportunity you get to diss him with "cool" words makes me think that you are having some fun doing that.

I don't think I do though. I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I'm a great admirer of Alonso the driver.

Assholonso IMHO

:roll:

Welcome to the "bright" side then

I think you're confusing my critical comments of Alonso's behaviour with a belief that it means I dislike his presence in F1. Far from it. I'm critical of my favourite drivers I support, like Hamilton and Button. Alonso is a fantastic driver who is an asset to F1, but that doesn't mean his behaviour off track should be applauded or ignored.

I misunderstood you then, to me it seemed like you wanted to say that Alonso doesn't have a place in Formula 1 because of his actions on/off-track.
I guess controversial drivers like Senna, Schumacher, Alonso and even recently Vettel make F1 more interesting, even if their actions are not always right. I think you would agree with me there.

I very much agree with you there.

And while BBC article's headline says "has no foundation" the quote from Ferrari is this:




At the same time Suomif1.com reporter Pekka Franck has stated that he stands up with his source and with his own name and reputation about truth that the Kimi-Ferrari deal that has been signed already. He was the first to make the headlines about football player Teemu Pukki's deal with Schalke, three days before the official announcement.

In Finnish media this BBC article has been recycled widely, but only suomif1.com and Ilta-Sanomat (the only other source saying that the deal has already been made) have not done so.

There's a lot of confidence in him then.

I'd love to see it happen though.

I read in Autosport today that Gutierrez's seat is under threat due to Telmex leaving. So I guess if Sirotkin is indeed ready for a race seat, it'll be Hulkenberg-Sirotkin.

Have Telmex left with immediate effect though, or are you referring to 2014? If it is 2014 and considering Hulkenberg's current contractual situation with Sauber, I cannot see the line-up being Hulkenberg and Sirotkin.

2014.

Actual words are 'Loss of Telmex means Esteban Gutierrez is unlikely to stay'

My understanding is Hulkenberg will be at Lotus if Raikkonen departs. If not, he'll be at Sauber.

Hulkenberg should be in the second Ferrari next to Alonso.

The Hulk must surely be regretting his move from FI to Sauber, so then why would he want to stay at Sauber with its current situation?

As an aside with 1 week of off season to go, lets compile a list of the biggest boneheaded team movements from a driver.

For example Jean Alesi turning down Williams to join Ferrari in 1991 or Emerson Fittipaldi to join his brother Wilson's team and stick with it.

You mean, next to Kimi.

I guess so, but hindsight is a wonderful thing. At the end of 2012, Force India to Sauber looked like a very good move.

Maybe Alonso turning down Red Bull at the end of 2007?

Webber turned down a Renault drive for 2005.

Wait Alonso turned down Red Bull? How the fuck did I miss that...and I read Autosport!

Supposedly they were in negotiations but Alonso opted for Renault instead. I think he was linked to Honda as well.

I think the Webber/Renault one is difficult; he may have won races for them but he could have ended up like Fisi and never gone to Red Bull...
