Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2017 Alonso's crash in Barcelona was never explained, and it may very well be, because causes behind it until today weren't properly understood. Whilst I am aware that since then he underwent series of various medical examinations, neurological tests among them, yet I am really not convinced that he should be driving on ovals and test his body at the limit in this manner. Doctors will not tell him that he is absolutely healthy. They will merely confirm, within confines of their knowledge they did not find anything wrong with him. It's his decision, but at this stage of his life he doesn't has to do that. Interestingly enough, Monte Carlo race is most likely the only event in which McLaren could collect some points this year, thus for the goodness of the team, it would be a good decision to return a favor for all that money drivers are paid, but as customary with some people, personal interest is a King, and that's all what matters.

Is Gene suggesting we should not believe what we hear from him? I do recall he had one (similar) shouting event in Japan couple of years back with Mattiacci. That one didn't end up well.

That one didn't end up well. their argument was that they fear that it's going to be a divorce welcomed by both sides, I frankly don't know, in fairness I think that sokldiering on with McLaren this season won't do any harm to Nando's reputation, especially if he drives like he did yesterday. furthermore, suppose that all of a sudden Honda can fix something in their PU and they manage to finish some race and Button picks up some points, it wouldn't look great on Alonso's abilities. I personally think that he should honour his contract and then move to Renault (who seem to be on the right path to a competitive future) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2017 Why would Jérôme Stoll made the same mistake McLaren committed? You get loud driver on your payroll, and next morning you are laughing stock in the paddock with negatives all over the printed news. Thanks, but no thanks. Renault is not ready for Vettel, Hamilton or alike. Not this, or next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a lot of narrow thinking around some of the commonly uses of yardsticks for greatness. Moreover, Alonso wears underwear made of teflon. Unbeatable combination. And we all know nothing sticks to teflon , even S--))(*%$T :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
