There have been rumours flying around the pitlane linking Mclaren Driver Fernando Alonso with a move to either Ferrari or former team Renault where he won both his world titles.
Renault team boss Flavio Briatore has played a pivotal role in Alonso’s career and has been vocal in his desire to have Alonso back in the team. Ferrari , meanwhile have reportedly offered Alonso 40 million dollars a year to race with them.
These rumours have come in the wake of relations tuning frosty between Alonso and Mclaren team boss Ron Dennis. Dennis has claimed he is not on speaking terms with the world Champion and has not spoken to him since the Hungarian Grand Prix in August. Alonso has denied reports of leaving Mclaren, saying
For next year I have a contract with this team and I don’t see any problem.
I have won four races and I’m fighting for the championship so everything is going quite well and I’m happy.
There is also widespread speculation that Alonso does not get along with rookie teammate Lewis Hamilton. There are reports of ego- clashes between the two as the rookie has had a record breaking first season. Hamilton gets paid about half a million dollars a year for his services compared to over 25 million for the 26 year old world champion. Hamilton currently leads Alonso by two points with 3 races remaining in the season.
