Alonso to Ferrari for 2010-Who leaves?

Although I have followed his career since Mika H. left McLaren I think Kimi is the one to get the boot. He just seems to have lost the drive to win. I really think Alonso is an a$$bag, from what I have seen on the tube so I am disappointed that he will be wearing red next year.

my bet is Kimi retires.
Massa has outperformed him for a while.

Say what you want about alonso but I think he's better at helping to develop a car that kimi is.
Kimi just wants to show up and drive.

Good. Now I have a reason to really dislike Ferrari.

No question in my mind that if this is true, it's Kimi that gets the boot. He seemed to have retired once he got World Champion.

Alonso has made no secret where he's always really wanted to be. I don't know how his various teams have tolerated him. I don't think his temperament is good for F1 at all, and I expect him to experience "friction" no matter where he is--even in his dream job at Ferrari.

My guess would be the Kimster retiring too. Kimi has done a few non-championship rallies and now he is set to enter his first WRC round in a Fiat Abarth Grand Punto.

Shame because I like Kimi, but like legion said at least I can go back to enjoying watching Ferrari fail. Sorry Jim.

You mean that the blackmailer is moving on? Hope he moves on to retirement. He needs to leave the sport along with Mosley and Bernie.

Alonso is a warrior….
I loved his championship years at Renault, but lost respect for his McLaren year.

Alonso in a Ferrari will be a tough combination to beat, as long as Massa is ready to be a lap dog

Ferrari, McLaren. Meh. It's all the same internally anyway, isn't it?

I bet Massa is pissed. He wanted the #1 spot. No way he gets it with Alonso coming on board. He'll end up being a wingman until he retires.

Hasn't this season taught you anything? I don't think you can assume drivers' performance anymore.

Sorry about that. I didn't realise the story was a hoax.

But, really does anyone know but the ones involved.
