  • Heartbreak with Ferrari - denied 2 world championships at the last races of the season in 2010 and 2012

  • Has not had podium since 2014 Budapest through bad career moves

  • Is in one of the slowest cars on the grid at the moment

  • Has had poor reliability for a long time

  • Wants to compete in the Indy Car series and win the triple crown

  • Wants to futher his career

  • Is in his late 30s and is nearing the end of his career anyway

  • Will not wait for McLaren to improve as he has waited long enough

So do we think that this is good from Alonso? Yes we do... He is constantly tussling at the back of the grid when he has the talent to be winning world championships and as am ex racer myself that is very frustrating not being able to get to the front through no fault of your own... The new Indy Cars look amazing and with the reduced aero the racing has been brilliant it just leaves the question, who will he race for? Who will replace him?

Mclarens 2019 line up (personal view)

Sainz no 1 driver

Lando Norris no 2 driver

I think there will be a complete reshuffle next year - Vandoorne has been dire so he will be whisked out and replaced with Norris who is Mclarens next Lewis Hamilton.

Just a quick article tonight - nothing much has happened in the qorld of football toady - although we will likley do an article on Martial :)

Thank you for reading and as always...
