He'd also be satisfied with being #2 to Lulu. And being the Sky-Sports-top-Brit-in-waiting. I think that is Lando. |

That story refers to the rest of the season outside of the 500. It's been amended now. |

Renault admits Alonso is 'an option' for 2021
Renault has confirmed that Fernando Alonso is an option for it as it looks to sign a second driver alongside Esteban Ocon in 2021.
Earlier this month, McLaren announced that it had penned a deal with Daniel Ricciardo for next year, which will see the Australian leave Renault after two seasons.

I would think they are looking for someone to complement Ocon, not race in their own bubble. Alonso is a great driver but can or will he help bring Ocon up to his potential in a shorter amount of time than a young up and coming driver who would be much cheaper, the young guy being more of a pupil than a teacher. |

I'm sure those are all things they will consider. |

I think they should consider how Alonso brought up Hamilton.  |

Well for one thing, by putting him up against Alonso, they can find out if Ocon really is the future or not. I don't think he is, and I doubt they really do, either. And he's a Merc driver anyway. If Ocon's really very good, he won't be at Renault for long anyway.

Renault needs Fred there as a show pony not a coach, losing Ricci was a huge kick in the balls for a "factory" (cough) team so now a big ticket driver is needed to show they're a team worth driving for. |

Vettel is still available as far as anyone in the public knows, he might relish the chance to beat Ricci in Ricci's old car so to speak.

a bit of humor about Kimi and Sauber. Prolly applies for next year. :-) Read the whole article if ya have time. :-) scuderiafans.com/alfa-romeo-f1-boss-reveals-kimi-raikkonen-doesnt-read-agreements/?fbclid=IwAR0umr5kHdZsCDcufa5Ejk4eeLs9WgwH5J0mug8nwmem-oQXFCRSiblfEtYBeat Zehnder continued: “When at Monza in 2018 Ferrari decided that they’re going to go for Charles, we had immediate contact. We had a meeting which was the Tuesday after the race with Fred, Kimi, and myself. We basically did a contract within two hours. Well, a contract – we did an agreement, because Kimi doesn’t read contracts! Through all the years, we had a very special connection. At the time of refuelling, we would always tell him how much fuel we had at the start, and would always have a very good connection to each other.” – the Alfa Romeo boss concluded. |

I'd forgotten this but Renault does have a driver they could promote.  |

Renault has a Chinese guy in F2 as well that's doing pretty well, if he can finish 4th this year he will have enough points to get a Super License
