Geeze, you're not the one who fired Scott are you?

I wish I had a cool job, I am really tired of mine... seems like I do way more listening to people whine than actually programming these days

Ron Dennis has said he isn't going to release him if he goes to another manufacturer team, he was seen in the Red Bull hospitality in Monza and Spa. , his only other choice will be Williams.

I think a move to the retirement home of Toyota would be the best thing for him. They are the whipping team of the paddock. If he can turn things around, ( i highly doubt it with their method of mgmt) then all will hail him as the great wdc that he is, if things go badly, the team can be blamed. As well, he'll have Jarno Trolley as a team mate who he'll beat on a regular basis and in now way will cause him any concern. Then with his extra tens of millions in the bank, he can go to Ferrari for 2009.

No, we don't have anything to do with Toro Rosso as they are based in Italy.

I mainly build, repair and modify the chassis/safety cell the driver sits in.

I would surprised to see Denis let him go to another top tier team since Alonso still has one year left on his contract.

Little expensive to put him on gardening leave and I guess he did not want another year of discord.

That's the grave yard of former F1 drivers whose careers are gong no where. Alonso is still at the top of his game technically. His team didn't necessarily lose the championship because of poor drivers or poor cars.

Maybe Alonso will be going to a contending team:

Looks like Renault wants to recreate some of that old magic.
