    Among current available drivers, Alonso is the highest in demand, and others seats depends on Alonso’s move. And rest all champions have their seats confirmed.

    Alonso is very smart. He pairs up with drivers of his era and younger champions and proves that he’s the best (and also was best in past). So, he’d want Button to stay from his recent interview. Why? ‘coz he wants to prove he’s better than Button ( both have raced more than a decade)
    He already did with Kimi.

    This implies “Alonso is going to McLaren” but why the delay? ‘coz he probably wants short contract 1) to try McLaren Honda combination, and also 2) beat Button and 3) to evaluate who does best in 2016 – Mercedes, Lotus or Williams and go to that team for 2016 4) he’s getting old.
    What if it doesn’t work out with McLaren deal for short term? That’s why he says “A lot of options” i.e. If short term deal doesn’t workout with McLaren, he probably go Lotus-Mercedes as backup plan,

    What’s next? He knows Lewis wins this championship making him double WC and Maybe want to pair up with Lewis Again (and beat both Lewis as team-mate and show Nico how it’s done while competing with Vettel in Ferrari proving that he’s better than both). And then what? Just retire and move to WEC or something else.

    These are some of my thoughts. Whatever he’s gonna do, his decisions are smart, he’s learned lessons from past. But unfortunate for him, he’s very unlucky with wrong team at wrong time in past. Hope it works out for him this time.

    These are some of pieces of puzzles that fits in a bit. No Audi, No buying a team, Not all other rumours.

    Also he wouldn’t kick Kimi out second time with Ferrari (He knows Stefano Domenicalli is out, Lucas is out, Massa is out, even some aero engineers are out, the whole Ferrari team is changing – For sure he’s leaving Ferrari – Massa wouldn’t have asked “where you’re GOING” – he also knows he’s leaving but where is the question)

    One thing is for sure, he wouldn’t get a chance to drive a RedBull in his career.

    I’ve noticed, not just the rating, but also “Caption Competition” wasn’t available

    Alonso going to McLaren is highly improbable, even after 7 years, it kinda ruined his young age rhythm in his career and not just 2007, he had to sit at renault for next 2 years b’coz of that. Also his mindset and team’s is different. Everyone knows McLaren haven’t won constructors for more than 15 years [now they have even diff task to beat RB Merc, Ferrari, Williams], and Lewis just won WDC by slightest margin. After all, what would he get at McLaren? Money is not a criteria for Alonso, he’s already comfortable with Ferrari family, language, culture, treatment, etc. Only team I can see him going is either RedBull[which is unlikely] or Merc [if Lewis decides to leave].

    I think none of Vettel, Alonso, Lewis will go to McLaren [williams past years are now McLarens]

    Lewis would leave only if dramatic things unfold in a few upcoming races.

    2015 line up for Top Teams:

    Merc: HAM, ROS [possible HAM going only to Williams in frustration, if that happens domino effect in moving]
    Ferrari: ALO, RAI [possible HUL replacing RAI only if Ferrari decides to just pay him out]
    RB: RIC, VET [Only tempting place for VET would be Merc if HAM leaves]
    Williams: MAS, BOT
    McLaren: BUT, DIR [ DiResta might return :) ]
    Lotus: MAL, GRO [ GRO may go to FI if HULK goes to Ferrari incase RAI is leaving]
    FI: HUL, PER

    Tough Luck McLaren, no world champion is gonna come to you and so they should keep BUT

    Let’s see in a few weeks/months
