Default Alonso released from Renault

Breaking news.
Fernando Alonso has left Renault, after declaring that the car is unworthy.

It will soon be announced that he has signed a contract which ensures that he will be THE #1 driver for his new team........NBC Sports.

He will driving all the cars on Top Gear, the US version and will be THE only Top Gear US driver.

In a related story, breaking news out of Florida says that there is a man, known only by the name "Sir A. Wayne", who is currently on a bridge and threatening to jump into the water (wearing only his Lewis Hamilton driving suit pajamas and Fernando Alonso swimming cap) unless NBC Sports releases Fernando Alonso from his contract and allows him to drive for Ferrari F1.

Mark & Bob, Ghetto is gone...no trace. Ghettoracer.com, Akmee.com & G-Speed.com are all no-shows. Maybe he has a new career in another sport?

I had heard that Alonso was going to be an instructor at the next autocross. Is this true?

Late breaking news: www.f1racing.net

In an attempt to push A. Wayne completely over the edge (what is this, Thursday? Everyone is trying to whack Wayne today) and off the bridge, it has been announced that Michael Schumacher will test the new slicks made by Bridgestone at Ferrari. He's still the man!!!

They asked Alonso if he wanted to test the new Bridgestone tires, but he replied that they are not yet worthy and he is looking for a better tire for next year.
