If this does end up being the case then Iā€™ll have to support Alonso. Not a big fan though.

He is the problem, yes he is an icon, but I am starting to think the living legend needs to take a chill pill

That would set a very bad precedent, imo.

A) Renault should be looking at the younger drivers to bring in fresh blood that they can afford.
B) Liberty should certainly not be interfering by paying a driver/team like thisā€¦

Iā€™m my opinion, Renault should not touch Alonso if they have any hope at being competitive. He single handedly drove McLaren into the ground, and his time at Ferrari left them in shambles. If I was Renault, I would look at Guanyu Zhou. I believe he is a good choice to bring into the team.

Apparently a big problem with that is that he doesnā€™t have enough points on his super license yet. Neither does Lungard.

Oh no I didnā€™t know that. That sucks, because I believe from the current crop of F2 drivers, he has shown the most promise.

And is in real risk of not getting those points this year if we donā€™t go racing!

Surely there are other drivers that do qualify, though? Or look at the current F1 test drivers, thereā€™s more than enough talent thereā€¦

I still wonder if Bottas wonā€™t consider a move to Renault. I like the guy, would be nice to have him there.

That would be really interesting, but kinda just shifts the problem, since Mercā€™s succession drivers are Ocon and Russell. I doubt even Toto could get Ocon away from Renault now, does Williams have another pay driver lined up?

Seeing those two names under the same team banner - Ferrariā€™s obviously - was something I dreamt of seeing in the mid-2000s before both Michael and Kimi retired for their respective first times. I could definitely get behind supporting the pairing under the Alfa Romeo banner.

That was the idea behind it. If we cant have senior, lets have junior.

I would be so happy if Bottas goes to Renault.
