Alonso’s options keep narrowing. Now Red Bull are out the picture, what’s left for him? Prodrive aren’t going to be on the grid next year after all. Toyota have Glock and Trulli. Williams now have Nakajima. Surely it must be Renault? The hesitation in announcement can only be because he doesn’t actually want to go back there, or that the contract they’re offering doesn’t suit him. I can’t believe, as some people say, that he has a drive at Ferrari in 2009. The only reasonable option, then, is for him to take a year off. Could that ever work? Perhaps the more amazing story, however, is that Ralf thinks he might fit in at McLaren!
