On it goes. Hardly a day passes without some new snippet about Fernando Alonso, and the plans for his future. 'Alonso seen in Milton Keynes', ran one story last week, the implication being that, while he may have been there to top up his tan, a greater likelihood was that he was visiting Red Bull. Then there was a quote from Flavio Briatore, to the effect that Fernando was '60 per cent sure' to sign for Renault. Given that Toyota has taken the wise step of replacing Ralf Schumacher with Timo Glock, Renault and Red Bull seem to be the extent of Alonso's options for 2008. Friends in Italy assure me that he has an offer to join Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari in '09, that this is the reason for his difficulties at present: what he seeks is a one-year deal. Renault is demanding a three-year commitment, while Red Bull, it is said, might be prepared to accept an agreement for 2008 only. There will, of course, be other worries swirling around Fernando's mind at the moment. When he announced his decision to leave Renault for McLaren (a year ahead of his actual departure), he insisted - like they all do - that it was not a matter of money. No, what he was looking for, he said - like they all do - was a new challenge. © 2021 Autosport
