    Just saw the news and Lewis Hamilton has confirmed he is quitting Britain for Switzerland, probably all that hounding from the gutter press.

    Luca di Montezemolo has scotched talks Alonso will be seen in a Ferrari cockpit for 2008 campaign.

    Someone in the media is wondering if Max has lost his marbles (going potty) in his old age. In my view we have to wait and see if Hamilton is not another flash in the pan, remember the hype when Jason Button join F1. :rolleyes:

    Hamilton can be quick but can McLaren come up with the car that´s fast and reliable next season?

    Nothing to do with fans hounding him etc, it's a TAX HAVEN.
    All British F1 drivers live in tax havens.
    Name me one that stayed in the UK.

    My Auntie used to go to the same hairdressers in Surrey as Damon Hill's Mum.

    As for Alonso, who cares? Rumours say Red Bull, but that wouldn't be fair on the lads already there, Webo & Custard.*

    According to the "news" Hamilton got some consolation from the lead singer of the Pussycat dolls...Nicole Scherzinger...so I guess he can´t be all that disappointed after all...

    I wonder if Alonso will go to a middle order team just can not see him in the back order, test driver is always a possible?

    Bet old Ron was glad to let the hot head go in to the night. :rolleyes:

    Now it´s official after the Mclaren protest did not change results: Kimi is the World Champion!!

    Also read that Alonso might be interested for driving in red Bull for one year, perhaps the RB team is getting just enough money for his salary for one year.

    Mclaren had no interests in the points what so ever they just wanted justices.

    Just paid my mate for tickets to 2008 British GP, he's doing the Friday & Saturday, I'll go for race day.
    He's an old hand, British GP many times and Spanish one too.
    It'll be my first GP.
    I've seen them testing at Silverstone but never an F1 race.
    Quite excited.

    Heard in the news that Renault is going to change both drivers for the next season. Alonso might be the other one to come back, but then again the team are accused of robbing info from McLaren like Mclaren was accused vs Ferrari. If the penalty is the same don´t think Renault will be getting other than Arab or Japanese drivers ( who have lots of money to pay for their F1 licence ).

    Alonso may take a year out but this has not been confirmed.

    BBC SPORT | Motorsport | Formula One | Alonso opts for return to Renault

    He going back to Renault as Number 1 driver but look Heikki has to take a hike.
    Alonso is a spoilt brat prima-donna, didn't like Hamilton showing him up this year & doesn't want a Finnish team mate doing it next year .

    Kovalainen to join the McLaren F1 team...!!!

    Could not be better news!

    Heikki is following in the footsteps of Mika Häkkinen and Kimi Räikkönen and he already showed he can drive during the last season.
