I'd be surprised if Massa goes to be honest, seems to fit very well with the team.
Cheers,

More importantly, have they sorted out a set of unambiguous rules and some pre-season scrutineering to ensure that all the teams are actually starting in the same book?

Good driver, cares about the sport. Bit of a cock sometimes.
Should do well at Rarri, good scope for cheating again if Todt gets elected for the FIA ( despite the fact ther is currently animosity between them )

Santander pulled the plug on Mclaren then porkie, or will they be sponsoring both teams??? forgive my ignorance but i didnt think sponsors could sponsor two teams??
That'll be a big chunk of Mclarens budget gone then,

Yeah I know all that, I was just wondering if they'd made the announcement yet thats all.
I cant see Alonso wanting to be there with either Massa or Kimi tbh, we have seen how he is with a strong team mate

Well he couldnt handle Hamilton very well.... so hopefully he gets another good team mate for more toys out the pram
It Must be Kimi out as hes been shite the last couple of years and seems more interested in Rallying at the moment.

The repair is 65% of what I paid for it lol! So I'm afraid your one-77 will have to wait unless a 1:18 scale will do you?

Alonso stil has a few good years left in him. And he's a good car developer. Helping the techs understand how to make it faster, feedback etc.
It
might still happen (wouldn't totally doubt it happening), just maybe not this year. Hasn't Raikkonen always looked unmotivated?

I rate Alonso and Hamilton WAY WAY above Massa as all round drivers mate!
and ahead of Vettel and Button to be honest, although I like all 4.
