He found it in Spa, but then dropped it again when he hit the wall. I reckon he will find it again for this weekend, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon he will find it again for this weekend, though Remember ....... They gave him an entirely new chassis for Spa..... I think Ferrari know full well they have'nt provided him with an ideal car since the first 5 races this year, that suits his driving style ed is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pabloh20 1 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 Remember ....... They gave him an entirely new chassis for Spa..... I think Ferrari know full well they have'nt provided him with an ideal car since the first 4 races this year Yeah, he still didn't qualify particularly well with it, though and he wasn't heavy on fuel either, which is still not really like Kimi. Anyway, enough of this chassis, tyres or whatever else bollocks, the mojo can't be argued with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 I think he'll stay at Renault. I dont see enough reason for him to switch to yet another team, unless it was Ferrari of course. Next year there's all new rules and car-shapes so the pecking order could move around a bit, and dont forget it was only 2 years ago that Renault were top of the bunch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cavallino 2 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 Time for some shameless self congratulation http://www.totalf1.com/forums/index.php?ac...&pid=253031 bulls##t. And no I am not in denial, this is just from the most dubious of sources - and comes with a 'word in the paddock' disclaimer. Fernando Alonso has not signed for Ferrari. Take it from me. I am right far more often than these rubbish websites. Worship me mere mortals I wonder if grandprix.com will issue a retraction and apology for their lies...

Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 Alonso's future depends on how Heidfeld does in the next races, if he does well enough then I guess BMW will keep him, and Kubica is staying. It looks increasingly likely that Alonso will stay at Renault or move to Honda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
