At this stage of his career and in his desperation to win a third WDC he'd probably do it for less.

Shame Nico Hulkenburg isn't available. Would cost a lot less and give Mercedes the German angle.

How about Paul di Resta taking up the second car?

Toto Wolff must have burn marks on his phone hand...

Naa - i can't see Alonso getting the drive .

Remember Alonso quit Mclaren , because a certain young Whipper Snapper called Lewis Hamilton was out performing him and would not roll over and play the understudy .

We saw some friction between LH & NR - that would be nothing compared to the friction that would occur , between Alonso and Hamilton ,at Mercedes .
I don't think that the Mercedes would want that

I agree, Baz - it will be a youngster as an heir apparent.

Bazile- Alonso may have got the 'public' blame for the McLaren fallout, but Hamilton's reluctance to do as his team asked started it........now where have we heard that recently.......Abu Dhabi

"Disgraceful IMO all other drivers should be allowed to compete against the current champion."

Just as a point of comparison, in GP2 te previous season's champion is not allowed to compete in the series the following year.

Nah, thinking about this, engage Jensen for a year and bring through one of the youngsters from underneath. Verstappen will be too pricey as to his contract.

It's a bit shocking... he won the championship then retired?! Guess you can't get better than that!
