BMW admits to Alonso F1 talks for 2009.

would make sense a consistant alonso could nick a title.

but why would Robert go to renault?

Alonso just needs to go away. Now he's going to ruin another driver's chances at a quality team by bumping someone out of BMW. If he really is the greatest, shouldn't he just stay at Renault and continue returning that team to its previous glory (surprised they aren't in the title hunt already since he is so wonderful).

get a grip, sure u dont like the guy, i dont like lewis. but both guys talents are clear for all to see.

who ever said he was the greatest? no him, not me.

but the guy knows how to win world titles.

i cant see bmw getting rid of kubica i think it will nick that goes but having said that as the article says kubica would be like another hamilton to alonso as they are both aggressive.

They mention honda if alonso goes to bmw i think kubica could possibly do really well at honda if ross brawn gets honda's act togeather

i agree barry

but kubica and alonso get on so well, they could work like trulli and alonso did. but they would just take points away from each other

would love to see kubica win a title in a honda, thats a great shout!

this would be an interesting one. i know both have the occassional game of poker so are friendly off-paddock. i don't know how to read kubica as a person. he seems introverted but that could be just a shield to fend off intruders into his private life (we see LH corroded by this media invasion). but pairing two closely matched drivers, both still with high amitions and both being seen as No1's in their current setups could prove difficult. this is in part due to that latin tendency to be fiery!! i would love to see them matched, just for the purpose of assessing kubica's true credentials. interesting

Rober Webster,m u just dont want to see him in a competitive car and in a team that doesnt rob him, correct? my head s spinning from the smell of mc laren fanboyism

On serious Note - Alonso and Kubica would play perfect team-mates, both having similar driving style, both good at car development and both are fast.And they are good buddies. Not to mention a) BMW has not taken any sides with current drivers,given both support b)Kubica is not "Self engrossed" individual, based on his podium interviews, and body language he shows on camera.

So this combinition will surely take BMW closer to regular wins.

But I still think FA should help Renault to come out of current slump (and of course other teams who are blocking their engine review request)

On a lighter note - Fernando make sure that the KERS devices on that car are properly grounded .

I agree that those two would give BMW more consistency possibly challenging the top two for the constructors title with some luck. I doubt Mario T. would sign Alonso though for the fact that he is highly methodical in his approach to make BMW a winner. Signing Alonso would mean that the goal for them next year (not 2 years down the road) is and should be to win a WDC title and that maybe too much pressure too soon for BMW.

Yet another contract Alonso is looking to get out of early. I thought he signed for Renault for 2 years???
news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7136498.stm

Given this track record for leaving teams mid-contract, why would he think Ferrari would ever be interested in his lack of commitment???

I think it might be Kubica who is going to leave BMW... althrough i would really prefer him to stay.

There were rumours 2 months ago that Kubica was offered new 3 year deal by BMW, but he turned that offer away.. and was ready to sign only 1 year extension to his current contract.

Heidfeld already has contract with BMW for next year.

Also.. Kubica and Alonso are quite good friends at the moment.. driving for the same team would probably affect their friendship pretty badly. Though i might be wrong. Will see will see....

sir frank renault singed alonso knowing that the contract says if they arent in the top 3 then it would only be a one year deal.

they negotiated it, everyone has known that from day 1. if he leaves he isnt breaking any contract of any form.

id like him to stay, as id personally rather see renault win. BUT if bmw is the best ticket to get him back at the front then so be it.

BRING ON THE ALONSO HATERS... COME ON, JUST GET IT ALL OUT SO MAYBE ONE DAY WE WON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU ALL ANYMORE.

A particularly good driver with a promising team could be a good move. As to whether two 'hot' drivers beats one hot driver and loyal deputy is something worth debating?

I personally would love to see a Alonso?Kubica pairing. I truly believe they would be great together. and to all the Hamilton fans, it seems there are a lot more of the drivers on the circut now that respect Alonso more than they do Hammy. So just maybe part of the conflict from last year was part of Hammies doing and his and Ron's arrogance.

I also would love to know how the Hamilton fans can say that he is better than Alonso. If you are true fans of the sport you will remember that Alonso came out of now where with the Renault to beet Shummi. And he did it two years in a row. That is far more monumental that anything Hamilton has done yet in the sport.

new rules in 2009 and
bmw: kubica + alonso
ferrari: massa + kimi
mclaren: lewis + kova

looks like a great season..

Looks good except for Ferrari.. stuck with those two..

Hes Staying at Reualt Get your facts straighht and stop all the Alonso bashing !! For the love of God
