ALONSO-BMW: ¿fantasía o realidad? Opciones

[el latigo]

Alonso solo sale de un equipo si al que va tiene espectativas de ganar el titulo, asi que creo que mejor que McLaren quedan pocos equipos y BMW no es uno de ellos, yo veo mas posible que una vez finalizado su contrato y nunca antes que Fernando recale en Maranello junto a los bolidos rojos.

No quiero estar libre de peligros. solo quiero valor para afrontarlos.(Marcel)

Fernando Alonso has been discussing the possibility of returning to Renault next season after just one season at McLaren.

A source close to the Renault team told SPEEDtv.com. “It’s not a rumor, they [the Alonso camp] are desperate to come back.”

The same source added that ironically as of last weekend the Hungaroring qualifying fiasco had given Alonso a fresh reason to stay at McLaren because Lewis Hamilton was now seriously out of favor at Woking.

Renault has yet to confirm either of its drivers for next year, although its assumed that Heikki Kovalainen has done more than enough to retain his place. Flavio Briatore said in Hungary that a decision on Giancarlo Fisichella will be due around the time of Monza, but the Italian is believed to have a very slim chance of retaining his seat for another season.

On Sunday Ron Dennis made it very clear that he was well aware of the possibility that one of his drivers might be tempted away: “There is an inevitability that these things are rumored and discussed in other teams. We have two drivers contracted for several years into the future. We will respect our part of that situation. We hope that the drivers respect theirs, because that is what a contract is about. That is our position.”

Intriguingly, when discussing the challenge of juggling two top drivers he added that “anybody”would have the choice to leave if they felt they didn’t fit in at McLaren.

“It is extremely challenging for me, emotional and stressful. I know I’m not alone in having to carry that burden, but nevertheless we will continue to function as a Grand Prix team with specific values. And if anybody does not want to be part of those values, irrespective of where they fit in the organization, then ultimately they will have choice. But we will not deviate from our values.”

F1: Piquet Lined Up for Williams Drive

Nelson Piquet is thought to be close to finalizing a deal to join Williams next year, some 21 years after his father left the team as reigning World Champion.

Piquet tested for the team at Jerez in December 2003 and again in Barcelona the following February in what was in effect a combined PR stunt and evaluation alongside Nico Rosberg. At the time the team strongly favored the German.

This year Piquet has been the third driver for Renault, and there have been suggestions that he would replace Giancarlo Fisichella and run alongside Heikki Kovalainen next year.

The Renault situation remains fluid, and as reported elsewhere, Fernando Alonso could yet return to the Enstone team.

Piquet has been personally managed by Flavio Briatore’s company since last year, but it’s thought that the deal may have lapsed as of July 31. However, the Renault team itself is believed to have an option in his services that runs until September.

While it’s assumed that if he went to Williams he would replace Alex Wurz and run alongside Rosberg in a PR dream team, Nico could yet move elsewhere next season.

Test driver Kazuki Nakajima is also in the frame, and there is a clear financial incentive from engine supplier Toyota to move him into a race seat.
