McLaren announced that they are parting ways with Alonso, whose 1 year stint with the team was steeped in controversy. It's no surprise, of course, as speculation about his future with McLaren was rampant over the second half of the 07 campaign.
Alonso's recent comments didn't help.
He'll probably rejoin Fisi at Renault, if the team can swing it. Fisi is a good teammate and Kovaleinen can be brushed aside, but will the team allow the diva to be the diva?
Who takes over for McLaren? Hammy will have the number 1 ride, but do they stay within the paddock and promote De la Rosa or do they look elsewhere? Can they strike lightning twice in two years with a rookie?
Am I the only F1 tard here?
