Those words are from Victor Seara in a Chat yesterday.

He is spanish journalist and is sure that Alonso will not drive for McLaren or Mercedes if buys the team, next year, only if a miracle happends will drive for McLaren.

The best exit for Alonso is the retirement or the Ferrari's wheel drive. He is sure that Montezemolo wants FA in his team and Kimi will get out of the Italian team.....

What do you think? Can happend?

[aAaBecker]

Most italian newspapers have also written that, I can only say that if he retires, it will be a great lost for F1. I really hope its a fake rumour...

[Ekzamenov]

Why would he leave...if he went to Ferrari would they make him number one driver????

[sFs4aOok]

It would be a damned shame if one of the finest F1 drivers of this generation is not seen on the grid next year

[hieklyintinee]

They might need a good test driver!
Both race drivers at Ferrari are confirmed for next season.

Ioan, is there such thing as "confirmed" in todays F1?

It's all so crazy now that I don't know "who's on first."

[CymnMaync]

I don´t believe a single word of it especially when last week Telecinco said Alonso will not go to Ferrari as long as Todt is there, due to personal reasons.

He might not drive for McLaren, honestly I would not want him in the team if I were RD so I would help him to leave, but I don´t think he will retire.

Well since the latest rumors say that Todt will be "retired" soon by Montzemolo it's no problem! Schumacher's visit to the Italian GP was just a confirmation that somtehing is not right at the moment...

There will be some major changes in Ferrari for next year in both management terms and maybe driver front for 08.

[TeNuaTe]

so brawn take over ferrari
kimi goes to toyota or renault
alonso to ferrari
good stuff

Why is that?

[Friend_Joe]

Ferrari and McLaren swap Alonso and Kimi?

[Beauseaccerce]

Alonso's what 25? 26? What would he retire for? He would surely go to Renault before he went to Ferrari,especially since Jean Todt is NOT a FA fan.

[BloofPailafum]

Has he already decided to go? There was a very strong rumour about it being a done deal.

[alexbookhyip]

It's hard to imagine Ferrari would out one of KR/FM, if both of them are happy where they are. But if it is FA in, I guess that's a different story then...

But Kimi to go back to McLaren? Wouldn't that hurt his ego? Or perhaps he's too cold to have any...

[Siuchingach]

Both race drivers at Ferrari are confirmed for next season.

It only takes a minute to "un" confirm that.
Alonso retiring? That would really be a shame given his talent and now star power (being a double world champ).

Who knows maybe they will ask Massa to test drive..
Jokes aside, why isn't there a BMW-FA connection rumour at all?

[TodeImmabbedo]

There WAS a lot of speculation about Alonso possiby going to BMW next year. BMW ended that quickly by resigning their two drivers for 2008.

At one time... I thought it possible that Ron Dennis would "park" Alonso at Pro-drive... not sure that's at all likely... after the latest events.

As of today... my guess would be.... Renault for 2008.

After tomorrow's hearing... it may all change.

[cemDrymnVem]

a driver retiring that's got so much passion for this sport?
nah, I don't believe it

[D6Ri5u13]

starting a rumour is too easy...
I just don't see much possible Alonso going to Ferrari or retiring.

but let me start my own ones:

- Alonso retires to buy McLaren from Ron and keep Hamilton but as toilet cleaner
- Raikkonen to Suzuki WRC
- Dario Franchitti to sign up for Ferrari
- Bernie Ecclestone to sell all his F1 rights to Tony Blair

[Seilehogshell]

Having heard also that FA has no strong ambitions to make prolonged domination in F1, He may retire earlier than at the age of Schumi was, but I doubt that he decides to do it such early while his age is productive.

Being disliked with Ferrari doesn't mean he has to retire, he can go to mediocre team like his former team while Toyota has stated their interest with sweeter amount of money. We will acknowledge that he may struggle more driving these teams, but his skill has been sized up without having to win at his new team.

However, I hope he stay any longer at McLaren, RD may have to manage his two drivers from any risk of distracting performance of the team.

[LSg44PDu]

whatever happenned to the multi tens of millions that ferrari was going to offer LH???Big headlines and all?

Pretty funny for ferrari to sign both FA and LH,,, good pit excitement for sure

Besides unless someone like MS and Brawn take over with a ten year total control package, where the rest of ferrari nonsense stays out of the team, ferrari is defnitely headed for mid pack or lower next year and the years later....

best team on the grid right behind ferrari and Mac is BMW, and a great driver is all they need....which is why the rumors started as to where would FA go

And if I were BMW and the choice was NH or FA or Kublica or SV...well duuuh who would not dump one of those others to make room for FA... (ooopps SV has already been parked somewhere else...)
