How could the Best driver in F1 NOT be happy at his chosen team, the Best (and most favored) team in F1?

Oh, that's right, it's because he has failed to win a WDC.

Go to McLaren, you'll retire just as the Honda engine returns to F1.

Fernando Alonso: McLaren target Ferrari driver for next season
By Andrew Benson
Chief F1 writer McLaren want Fernando Alonso to rejoin them next season and have made the Ferrari driver their prime target.

Asked if he wanted the double world champion, McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh said: "Yes, any team would. He's the best driver."

Lewis - I have uncovered another ball washer for you, better get him.

Randi - Whitmarsh didn't get your math model you better set him straight

You ever been in sales?
Hum? Alonsa or Perez? Alonsa has more $ and is a better driver for the couple of years he has left in him. Let me see, if I butter him up maybe he will come here when Ferrari kicks him to the curb.

One thing is certain, we are going to see how DV stacks up to another quality driver in the same car over the course of a season. In the next 2 years we are going to get some answers. This may turn out to be very entertaining.

I have one question, even though I don't think it'll happen because for years I've said that Kimi is the most talented driver in F1, but what IF Fernando spanks the **** out of him?

Will all the Alonso detractors finally give him some credit or just come up with a bunch of "reasons" why it happened?

Again, I don't Alonso will do to Kimi what he's done to Massa, but what if? The beauty is, that come this time next year, we'll know the answer. I find it funny how this is main story in F1 and not that Sebastian is going to win his fourth in a row.

Damon Hill said it best I guess, "if you've the best car, it's a no win situation. Because if you win, then that's what's expected and if you lose then you shouldn't even be allowed to drive a lory"...

Does anyone believe that if paired up on equal terms with Kimi, Alonso or even Lewis, that Vettel would still be a the #1 drover at RedBull?

It's surely going to be an entertaining 2014 season.

History is on the detractor's side. Alonso has always had a weak teammate (Fisi, Trulli, Piquet Jr., Massa post accident), with the exception of one year when he was SUPPOSED TO HAVE a weak teammate and it turned out to be a rookie sensation/real deal.

In order to maintain the coveted #1 status over a rookie, Alonso resorted to sabotaging a pit stop and blackmail.

I'll go one further and say that Alonso is so used to being the #1 driver everywhere he has gone and clearly the golden child at Ferrari for the past 4 years that when he discovers he is no longer wanted at Ferrari except for the Santander $$ he brings to the table and Kimi is more warmly received than he would have expected, Alonso's head is going to explode and should the F2014 not be a good car, may not finish out the season with Ferrari if they are out of it by Sept. of next year.

Not one single interview of everyone in paddock has said this is going to be a harmonious relationship -- and they are not pinning this on Kimi and his easy going demeanor.

I'm sure there are a couple of NASCAR teams that would be glad to have him.
