F1 » Alonso poised for Honda F1 move in 2009

Alonso(Michael Schumacher gift's 2005/2006) belongs to the "gifted" people of F1 Nigel Mansell(Nelson Piquet gift)...Damon Hill(Jacques Villenueve gift). The guy has just been plain lucky against his opposition of his championship winning years. His driving talent erm ability we have all truly seen in McLaren last year where a new comer to F1 blew him away...and this year where a new comer to F1 is also at his ability in race trim. So who wants a driver who consistantly underperforms? clearly not Renault or McLaren or Ferrari...mmmm Honda! I think he may have just found his swan song exit to F1

Although im not an Alonso fan,i am a Button fan and it would be great to see them as team mates. Then we can see if Button is a Champion in the making,( before its too late.)so hopefully Button can compete and maybe beat Alonso,then Ferari will pick Button in 2010????

Thanks for the correction Raw Dawg. I appreciate it.

All the sites are running wih this story but there hasn't been a single quote from Fernando. Honda saying they would love him to join them hardly means Alonso is "poised to switch to honda".
He's getting more than $15mil at Renault so it seems like absolute crap to me... Something smells funny and I think Nick Fry is an ambitious, manipulative and cold-hearted little man - only time will tell what seed he has planted with this latest bout of verbal diarrhea.

tho the ferrari werent that bad when ms and Ross went there in 96 and 97(for ross), remember alesi was fighting for wins regulary(Tho braking down) and was in the title hunt at mid season.

that aside Ross is a genius and hope he can turn honda round. alonso would be the ideal man, but id rather he stayed at renault from a personal point of view. just cos i like renault and pat symonds.

RB has only been there a year and the more time you give him to work his magic, it can only get better for Honda. Brawn has publicly said he'd love to have Alonso driving one of his cars, so there's no surprise there either with such a big spending company behind him.

Honda clearly believe they can make an awesome car next year on slicks and with KERS after dropping Rubens, but if it was me, I would have kept Jenson too. Rubens' experience alows him to be decent and sometimes relitively quick in any type or a slower car, whereas Jenson as we all know is faster when he has the right car underneath him. Alonso and Jenson is the right descision if Honda can make a great car.

Just wait & watch FA badmouth Flav after he has moved on to Honda next year.

Is FA jumping out of the frying pan & into the fire or is he a rat leaving a sinking ship or both? I'd say it's both. FA is a rat.
