Flav has been suggesting that he almost got an along and Kimi super team and would have got away with it if it hadn’t have been for that pesky Renault senior management.

Renault seem to have some pretty fast cars over there and if they had managed to sew up Kimi and Alonso it would have been a pretty mega situation for them. We might be about to have a superteam at Ferrari but it can’t be for too long whereas with Alonso and Kimi both at the beginning of their career it would have been a very interesting proposition.

However you have to say that Flav might have been the one to blow it himself – not that he’s mentioned it of course. The fact that even he wouldn’t commit to next year in case it all went wrong must have sent a very destabilising feeling through both Alonso and Kimi. No wonder they both went elsewhere.
