Alonso could leave Renault

Formula One
comment on the article

Fernando Alonso has said he can leave Renault at the end of this season.

The double champion, who returned to the team after a stormy year with McLaren, has had a disappointing start to the season in an uncompetitive car.

"I'm at Renault because I wanted to get back to winning, like in 2005 and 2006, if not this year then next year," Alonso told Spanish newspaper As.

"But I have an option to leave so I can be in the best possible car, and it is clear Ferrari is one of the best."

Do you think Alonso should be making this sort of claim so early in the season?

And who do you think he will be driving for this time next season?

Ladypitbabe.

I have to really applaude you & "jennycclass" for your unserving Loyalty. No matter what evidence is thrust before you will not be swayed from your stance that Alonso is an "all round good egg". This is something your boy could learn from. Unserving loyalty

If you don't think he should say just "No Comment" How about " I have a contract with Renault for the coming season and beyond. I intend to do my level best to try to make Renault as competitive as possible and gain as many points as we can, Anything else is pure speculation at the moment and I don't comment on other peoples speculations"

A statement like that is Simple to the point and totally non-commital. it isn't "no comment" and even the most ardent Alonso hater can't read in to it anything more than they already know

That way he doesn't come across as a disloyal so and so or a whinger. You simply can't blame all of this on the bias English press. If lewis Hamilton had made the same statement all of his distactors (of which they are many) would be draped all over him like a cheap suit..fair is Fair "Nes Pas"

I guess he'll skip from team to team as the excuse to end all why he will never again be fully competitive, after all, it's only money, right? Senna would win when down 40bhp, using only 5th gear of a broken gearbox, half a boat oar, etc. Tick, tock, gorgeous, new boys are coming on steadily and showing early quality. Hate to see FA become the next Ralf Schumacher(!) On a totally unrelated (apologies in advance) but whatzis all about eh? Seems a bit rude like, innit? http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,544388,00.html

Well Chocks-away-ginger, maybe you should get yourself the job of Fernando's PR man, you seem pretty good at telling others what to think. You could then see exactly how little the team is bothered by these comments and earn yourself a nice big salary in the process to go with your self rightous attitude.

You are cracking me up mate, yes I adore Fernando, good-looking, talented and rich. What more could a lady want? That reminds me, I must get a new one, I gave my last one to Maggie Simpson.

"I can definately see why you are an Alsonso supporter cos just like him you spit the dummy when someone disagrees with your very knowledgable holier than though opinion.. Or in other words everything you say is gospel and rest of are talking ..well you get the picture"

The best part is that you are so wrapped up will your anti-alonso raves that it has robbed you of any balanced opinion. Like i've already said - "Im no fan of Alonso" doh

Chocks-away-ginger,If you read my comment on page 12 you will see that even I, one of Alonso's many loyal fans have already stated that I wish he would refrain from speaking to the press.
