I think it would be silly for Alonso to move to Lotus.

Next season will almost be a clean slate for teams because of the change of engines.

Just cause Lotus are quick and reliable this year, doesn't mean they will be next year. Look at McLaren when they tried a new car this year :laugh:

 

I'm not so sure it would be a move backwards at the moment. Ok, Lotus aren't quite a match for the merc and red bull at the moment, but at least they are making small steps forwards. With Ferrari, nothing they really try works and if they'd had anyone else bar Alonso behind the wheel of that car they would probably already be out of contention in my opinion.

 

Ultimately I don't think he will leave Ferrari but I can't see him winning another title with them either, his career will stagnate if he stays there.

Ferrari engine is not much more powerful. It's just a bit more powerful, specially for high revs top speed.

Renault is a more flexible engine, and good at acceleration.

 

i think there is still no secret at all that mercedes and ferrari are the most powerfull engines in f1. given the homologation even the rumored 20hp power advantage is immense, especially on a track like monza.

h?lkenberg compared mercedes and ferrari engines and claims that mercedes is the best on the very top but ferrari has the most power mid range.

renaults engine is for sure very good when it comes to fuel consumption (which might be their joker next year) but acceleration has not much to do with the engine itself, more with the tires, the setup and rear suspension. mercedes is as good as redbull there since this year.

I wonder who will replace him.

 

I'm sticking with H?lkenberg and betting R?ikk?nen stays with Lotus.

Problem is, I don't see Raikkonen with Alonso in the same team. Teams don't usually have 2 number one drivers.

You never know. Tomorrow shall be interesting I think.

Alonso and Raikkonen in the same team should be an interesting battle, especially given that it seems unlikely to me that Kimi would go there to be a #2. They certainly need good form from both their drivers, as Alonso was basically propping the team up.

That's assuming that Alonso stays with Ferrari. It's quite possible he could move to Lotus, so the two would effectively be swapping places.

Raikonnen confirmed for one year contract with Ferrari - http://www.planetf1.com/news/3213/8916012/-Raikkonen-Signs-One-Year-Ferrari-Deal-

It's not the official confirmation yet. I expect that to happen between now and the Singapore GP...

Exactly; their source is BBC Sport, and they're the only ones saying it's a done deal at the moment.

If you actually went and looked at BBC sport you'd see is not official yet.

 

Ferrari, who will now have arguably the strongest driver line-up in Formula 1, have not yet announced the deal but are expected to do so imminently.

...that's what I said. I was agreeing with Mephistopheles.  :huh:

I wasn't disagreeing with the 1st bit of you post, just this bit:

 

 

and they're the only ones saying it's a done deal at the moment.

 

cause they've not said its a done deal, they said they expect an announcement soon.

Unless I misunderstood what you meant.

      The way the human race is going it will die out long before then and it will be the human race fault. They will either die out due to a nuclear war or climate change will kill them off. I say Nuclear war myself and I don't think it will be that long before it happens
