Re: F1 2008

Well, in the meantime, Nico has signed on for another two-years with Williams.

No surprise there. Frank is planning a front line push and he needs the drivers that are able to do it.The engines are frozen, they have stability with the toyota units so they should be at least challenging the BMWs for third.

Re: F1 2008

Here we go: Alonso (1 year contract) & Nelsino Piquet at Renault for 2008.

Re: F1 2008

Yup, as expected, and yet again it's Alonso with a potentially very talented rookie. No pressure on Alonso, none at all.

I love how Flavio thinks. He often knows how to maximize his investment.

Re: F1 2008

Well according to this BBC Renault got rid of Heikki Kovalainen because he was good enough to challenge Alonso

If that's true then it makes Alonso to be an even a bigger pathetic sore loosing winge-bag than I currently think he is - and believe me that would take some doing

Re: F1 2008

It has to be true, since Flavio is Kova's manager. And in order to keep everyone happy, I bet you Kova is probably going to McLaren... Hamilton/Kova, now that's going to be quite a fast team!

Re: F1 2008

Yep, I agree Renault got rid of HK as there is no way Alonso would have come back to the team with anything other than a patsy in car No. 2 - take a bow NP Jnr.

Very tough on HK

Hope he gets a decent drive. As for GF - retire please and do not race for 'Force India'

Lets face it, Alonso is now the new MS - for all the wrong reasons

Re: F1 2008

Don't underestimate Piquet Junior..unless he is running under a contract Flav nicked from Ferrari.

At Donington a couple of years back I was amazed as all these stunning looking girls came thronging towards me in one of the trade tents..until I noticed Nelsino doing some shopping as well...ho hum He can drive you know...Did his dad drive for a team owned by a lad called Ecclestone..can't quite remember

Alonso back in a Clio then..well how surprised was I then
