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

I can see he was angry when you took the picture! I heard he doesn't like to be caught on camera without any make up!

 

In the playstation you mean?

 

Why people, as race fans and spectators, wouldn't welcome back one of the all-time greats and one of the best F1 drivers of the last two decades to the starting grid is beyond me.
He is always fun to watch. And very few can wring out a car's abilities like he does.

I really don't care if the guy is despicable, poisonous to teams or eats babies for breakfast and even skins and barbecues cats in his backyard.
I don't have to work with him or deal with him on a daily basis.
If he puts on a show behind the wheel and is entertaining to watch (and that he does), I'll gladly have him back.

And, BTW, I happen to despise him as a person. So there you go...

Next to Vettel being cast off from Ferrari the best news of the yr.

 

I thought nobody wanted him because he’s sooo toxic and dramatic? What’s the record for the number of times a driver returns to his old team anyway? This now makes one return to McLaren and two returns to Renault.

 

..And they all went quite well.....

 

Hard to believe Renault wants him, but eh, it's their team after all.
We will see if Alonso can lift Renault's fortune next year.
Now Abiteboul can start watching his back ...

 

The only question at this point is:: "Can he keep his mouth closed, or at least civil" ?

 

Well, I guess Seb is officially done...

 

Alonso is good for Box Office, Liberty needs it

 

No, his glamorous DTM career is just beginning. Can't wait for him to drive an Opel or an Audi.

Jeder Popel faehrt n' Opel.

 

This is all starting to feel like a combination of "Naked and Afraid" and "Survivor." Or in F1 Speak...the "has-beens" vs the "never-will-be's." Otherwise known as beating a dead horse. I'll put my money on the 2022 season not even happening.

 

Seriously, he (Stroll) does well at Monza and Baku.

 

Monza 2017 and Baku 2017?? If so, please elaborate.

 

Where can I take your money?

 

Yeah, if it wasn’t for the corners he would be up there

 

I’d be surprised if Renault are paying any part at all of Alonso’s salary

 

He’d be still going faster than in this and next year’s Ferrari so might turn out better for him than expected

 

Yep. But somehow I get the feeling he won't mind being done with the F1 circus.

 

His mouth will say he doesn’t mind, but his heart will be broken inside, especially being cast out like that.

 

He's not done yet, he will be missing that paycheck.

 

Alonso just showed there’s always hope and there doesn’t seem to be many standout young talents at the door

 

History has shown that, in Formula one, no contract bulletproof / binding. So Alonso - Vettel in 2021 is still viable.
