Alonso to Ferrari officially denied
Alonso to Ferrari officially denied
So, Luca di Montezemolo has said that it would be a bad idea to sign
Alonso alongside Kimi and Alonso denied that his contract with Renault
has escape clauses (yeah, right):
http :// news.google.pt/news?ned=uk&ncl=1153071052&hl=en&topic=s
This contradict numerous rumours that have been published since last year.

If the two sources were credible then maybe it might contradict the
rumours, but eyebrows and dodgy "would you buy a car from this man" monty?

Just my humble opinion, but seems to me:
1. Very good reasons to "officially" deny.
2. Very good reasons to really not do that
(sign Alonso - least not now!)
Felipe Massa has been quite good for Ferrari.
Although admitedly 'not perfect' (esp. consistency)
he has shown himself:
1. Plenty fast (1 win so far 2008, 3 wins 07, 2 wins 06).
2. Most importantly, a good team player.
When it became clear in 2007 that events had played
out that Massa had a 'very slim' chance for WDC,
he very capably and fully devoted himself to helping
ensure that his team (team-mate) got the best chance
possible.
While Alonso has many strong points, that devotion
and willingness to lower one's own expectations, in
order to assist the team - is decidedly questionable!

Massa is a little up and down at times. I did not think he was that
good in the past but he is pretty good. Kimi is very fast and if the
cars is good and does not break then he is good for a win or second.
Unless Kimi starts to fall off then Luca will not want Alonso.
Supposedly Ferrari were looking at Vettel but 2008 has been a bad year
for Sebi.
Alonso's best bet for a top drive may be BMW but Dr. Mario is probably
happy with his drivers. Kubica lost all that weight and is quick.
Nick Heidfeld has been written off more times than I can count and he
always comes back from the dead. Nick is incredibly consistent and he
is second in the WC! Nick's career was dead and he did a great job
at the sinking Jordan team in a crap car.
I would say Kubica would go first. BMW also has an option on
Vettel.
Alonso needs to hope that maybe Ross Brawn can turn Honda into a
winner and that Ross would hire him or that Renault can improve.
