What passes for news . . .

From AutoSport's website:

"McLaren boss Ron Dennis says the British team have plenty of drivers
to choose from to replace two-time world champion Fernando Alonso."

Well, duh, imagine my surprise . . .

I'm interested in the rumor that 'Nando might go to Honda. The
combination of Fernando, Ross Brawn, and those truckloads of Honda
dollars, might be an interesting one.

I'd still be very surprised, though. I have to think Flavio B.would walk
for a week over broken glass to get FA back at Renault.

Ah, but would Honda management throw Rubens over the side (probably) and
repay Button's loyalty by giving Alonso clear #1 status over him (highly
unlikely)?

But would Renault management pay for his shoes? And what if Renault
gets (properly) nailed by the WMSC at the upcoming hearing?
