F1 » F1 sponsor switch to take Alonso to Ferrari?

I can't believe you are unaware that Alonso was an enthusaistic recipient of the Ferrari data last year - anyone reading more than the story headlines would know about this.

To make your statement, do you claim insider knowledge?

Or has really, really, really wanting something to be true become the same as knowledge?

Simon - everybody is aware McLaren engineers discussed data with PDLR and FA.And part of Drivers duty is to test the data on the track and provide feedback. One thing for sure none of us can claim of the current lot, if FA and PDLR are the only drivers doing that. There maybe others who are doing that as well.

All - End of the day what is sports for all of us fans is Job/business for those in paddock and out their nobody is permanent enemy of anyone. A driver may end up driving for same team that one had left couple of years ago( on good/bad term) there are examples on current grid. Unfortunately Its not just being good driver with speed and technical knowhow matters out there.

U own a contracting company. U steal a jackhammer. U give it to your employee so he can use it. Who s the thief, hinm or you? That s what happened wit FA and McLaren. Living with a thief doesnt make u one.

Oh yeah, this is true. I claim it s on ElPais cover today. elpais.com

elpais.com/articulo/deportes/Santander/patrocinara/Ferrari/partir/2010/elpepudep/20080710elpepudep_7/Tes

and if it s not politics , and it s on el pais, it s true, period.

you going to change you're name to chuifosi?

nah - i dont llke ferrari or kimi or massa or santander. says nothing about alonso ...

simon, read barrys note. he says that alonso was "the one originally in possession of the ferrari data" all i did was to point out that it was coghlan. i did not imply that alonso did not ultimately know of the data or avail of it, only that he was NOT the first (or second etc) recipient of the data. in fact, was he not the one who sparked off the inquiry?

i hope alonso does get the drive at ferrari after the way he was treated at mclaren and by shamilton revenge would certainly be sweet.if there is a move on the cards i hope massa gets a good drive he deserves too
