Alonso is going to end up at Ferrari, it's just a question of when and who he replaces, they are saying the rumour in the paddock is it's Kimi that is going. Let me know the details of your bet though, sounds fun!

ffs, pressed accidently "back" on thumb button on mouse, all text gone [thumbdown]

Anyway, I'm poor, so I could prolly only bet around 20€ against someone putting the same amount for him leaving, but then again, I'm quite sure of my bet so if I had any more spare money, I'd be willing to put that in there too.

Spanish media has been putting Alonso to Ferrari for years now, and now for a year or so they've been trying to replace Kimi with him. Heck, I don't think there has been a week without some spanish magazine having "100% accurate information" how Alonso already has contract with ferrari and kimi is leaving and what not, which occasionally gets picked up by other countries media aswell.

Honestly, there's no reason to replace Kimi excluding perhaps the fact that his salary is higher. Massa hasn't won championship even though it was close call once, and championship win is always good for marketing even if it was couple seasons ago. Also, while Massa has been driving really well now, he was in a bad accident, which undoubtly will at least for some time hurt his speed after he gets back (there's always some psychological, subconscious warning lights going on for a while after accident like that), and considering that he has now been quite even with Kimi overall.. well, he'll end up slower for some time at least.
