He did too....And if I was him....I would stay in that team they love him. They care Ferrari would be just another death trap mark my words.

If that's what happened, I'm starting to like this guy! Not as a driver but as person!

Same here, good of him not to drop everything just because Ferrari speaks... Now I just hope he doesn't go at all.

Interesting... these news sound like something from the old school racing days, you know, when team meant more than sponsors... Well, would be nice to see the F1 game becoming somewhat exciting and "human" again. By the way, don't know if I can say that after the new WCF rules and all, but... man, he is hawt. :) Oh, by the way, happy new year everyone! Cheers!

You have to love the Spanish papers. They've gotten into the "spirit" of F1 reporting. It very much appears that, like Gazetta dello Sport, they're published everyday and have lots of pages to fill. Who precisely was Alonso supposed to replace at Ferrari? Marc Gene?

Well done Alonso. Renault took him back with open arms after his stint with Mclaren. He definetly has what it takes too be champ again. He will help get renault back too the top.
