Today’s (un)surprising fact
It’s been announced today that Fernando Alonso and McLaren-Mercedes are to part company, two years before end of their contract. Apparently it’s a mutual decision based on the fact that Alonso was not a happy bunny for most of the season. Neither side will be liable for any financial penalties.
It’s not a shock that Alonso is moving on; everyone expected it after the comments that were made to the media before, during and after the Ferrari-McLaren spying scandal. Alonso, I think rightly, expected to be top-dog at McLaren for 2007, and he was rather unprepared for the Hamilton factor. Not only was this rookie being given at least equal and possibly better support by the team but he could also drive a lot better than anyone had any right to expect. As result of all the in-fighting and background shenanigans, Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari came in at the last minute and stole Alonso’s crown.
It’s expected that in a year or two, Alonso will be driving for Ferrari but no-one yet knows where he’ll be going for 2008. Wherever it is, he’s going to be hard-pressed to win back his Championship crown without a red or silver car underneath him.
