Provided it was true that Toyota has offered him the biggest amount ever before they hired Glock, he was supposed to hear my advice to accept the offer.

Toyota isn't car too far worse than Renault, the Fernando factor would make them the strongest midfielder if not regular podiumer. At least he would have started this season off with beautiful amount of contract in the pocket.

Now I'm actually glad that Alonso hasn't joined Toyota. If that had happened, everyone would be saying that Toyota is so quick only thanks to Alonso... and no-one would praise the team for a good job!

Two other more meaningful things would also have happened.
1) Fred would have already gotten that Toyota a podium.
2) Fred would have given due credit to the team!

I wonder what have been guys in Enstone doing since one year. They had publically announced end to development of R27 and start of work on R28. Now they say some improvements in Spain will help them reduce the gap , I wonder how can they do that when one year of their efforts has been exposed as a complete flop ?

I remember reading that Renault has their wind tunnel out of service for a while after they managed to blow up an engine there and that did somekind of damage to the tunnel.
Does anyone else have any info about it?

This is all I could find. It's from last July

“Simply put, there was a discrepancy between the car’s predicted performance in the wind tunnel and its behaviour on track.

“We therefore began an extensive test and analysis programme to correct this.

“Some of the problems we discovered had their roots in the 2006 season, but had in fact been masked by our competitiveness at the time.

“We have now identified, and modified, the parts of the car that were causing the problems, and our simulations correlate well with the car’s on-track behaviour.”

I don't know where they got that quotes, but i can sure you that when speaking to spanish media he looks happier than last year even though he has admited the Renault isn't in a position to win right now.

I think this piece of news is trying to make him look like whinning already and that isn't true! ... yet!

I think they will have to remain to thank to Alonso because he will not make random result from 3 to 14, or from 11 to 4.
