Dieter Rencken on rumours surrounding Alonso and Santander, and where they may be heading; and more thoughts about night racing
Alonso, and Santander, for Ferrari?
A glance at the Formula One points tells the tale of the current campaigns of F1's only competing world champions, 2005/06 holder Fernando Alonso and Ferrari's reigning champion, Kimi Raikkonen.
Despite driving a Renault whose model designation should be K9, not R28, Spain's double champion has scored 20 points - via two fourth places and a win - in the past three grands prix. In every race this year Alonso has given it his all, even when he knew inwardly that the cause was lost even before venturing out for Q1.
