Alonso and McLaren
So we all know that Alonso is moving to McLaren next season, Kimi looks likely to be leaving for Ferrari or Renault, and if reports from Germany are to be believed JPM needs a succession of wins to save his seat. All this leads me to wonder if McLaren are deliberately sandbagging to make sure they have the number 1 on their car next season.
Let's face it, JPM has not lived up to expectations in F1 and everyone knew when it was announced that Alonso would move to McLaren, it would be him that moved on. Ron Dennis probably hoped that Kimi would stay at McLaren, but the unreliability issues over the last couple of seasons seem to have finished that likelihood.
New rumours are placing Montoya back at Williams next year - to replace Toyota-bound Rosberg? - Frank still admires JPM's racing ability, but whether he would put up with his temperament again is questionable!
If, as looks probable, Lewis Hamilton makes the leap into F1 next season, I wonder if the McLaren protoge would be allowed to race in a Williams Toyota/Lexus? I would hope so, I think it'd be good for him to race in a car that's not right at the front of the grid for a season or two before the step up into a McLaren race seat - all depends on Ron Dennis of course!
The Internet company Lost Boys are still waiting for an answer from Alex Schnaider regarding the sale of the Midland F1 team, personally I can't see him saying no - $100m is a lot of money to turn down!
