Kimi isn’t more marketable, despite his strong fanbase, for one very simple reason… Kimi won’t do marketing work. If Kimi were interested in doing the PR work, then yes he would be more marketable. The way things sit, however, a driver with possibly a smaller fanbase who will go out and do public appearances and marketing work is far more valuable than one who might have a larger fanbase but refuses to do the appearances/work.

Alonso is hungrier for wins, and has a longer shelf-life ahead of him.

What’s so arrogant about a team who isn’t short of funding saying that they don’t sign certain drivers for sponsorship money? Not every team is struggling financially like Williams as you think.

Would Massa make the grade as one of the top flight? No.

Don’t underestimate him.

Some people seem to dismiss the idea that after two years in purgatory at Renault, Alonso will have done no reflective review of the Mclaren saga. I am sure there would have been many nights where Alonso has reflected on what happened there, and how he could avoid it again.
This does not mean it is impossible for such a situation to occur again, but i think he would defiantly try to avoid it again.

Genuine question, but can someone post links to articles, from reputable sources so not something like The Sun, that have Alonso and Kovalainen going on the record as saying Hamilton receives preferential treatment from McLaren. I know Hamilton got updates first this year but I wasn’t sure both drivers had actually complained on the record.

Between them I bet Alonso will be the WC,but I believe Massa can work with the team better than Alonso.

Thia what Montezemolo said ‘I expect a lot from both of them. They know that they have to drive not for themselves but for Ferrari, for the team.’
I doubt Alonso will take this seriously.

As a McLaren fan, I couldn’t care less what the red car brigade does with the “tohuwabohu” that will definitely occur next year

well then, don’t post anything. Your “tohuwabohu” occurred with McLaren.

What do I think?…

who cares what you think then, you only care about one team.
