I dont know how far this is true or this might be a speculation about Alonso leaving Mc Laren. This thread i found out in one of the autobahn sites

Fernando Alonso news, photo's and results - GPUpdate.net Formula One

If this is true then I think that its good for Hamilton.

scarlet.fever@ Dude I reckon your guess is gonna come true.

"Fernando Alonso has reportedly been told by McLaren senior officials that he can lave if he wants too."

Seems like Alonso will leave Mclaren end of this season & will be back with Renault!
Then we'll have one helluva race: Hamilton vs Alonso vs Kimi!

Meanwhile, Ferrari has shown interest to sign Hamilton for 2008!

VJ_MAVRICK · 8th August 2007, 15:29

@finney ----> I think its official that Alonso will be leaving given the fact that Ron Dennis and other top officials are not keen or rather insisting on him to stay.
Wish Schumi is back and then Schumi vs Hamilton vs Alonso vs Kimi ......it would be a great racing quartet but again too much attitudes and ego clashes might result.

i cant understand this hype around Hamilton..he is a top team with a racing winning car .... this kind of results were achived by J.Villienuve on his debut... i think Hamilton is a good and consistent driver. Period.

That will be simply awesome!

Ferrari Mgmt is not very happy with the performance of Kimi & Massa this season, so bringing back Schumi won't be a bad idea!

scarlet.fever · 8th August 2007, 16:23

I told you that this will happen.
I can sense things from a distance.
Fonso was not happy from day 1 since he joined McLaren.
Another prediction from me Hamilton will drive for Ferrari after spending a couple of seasons with McLaren.
Ferrari will lure him by offering a mega deal which will make one of the highest paid sports person in F1 or any sports for that matter.
I believe Ferrari will offload Massa definitely.
He does not have the X factor to win on a consistent basis.
On more observation Fonso may join BMW team as well since they have not signed Heidfeld for the next season as yet.

Michael Schumacher will never make an F1 comeback.Sad but true.

Hatari · 12th August 2007, 00:49

i think all this talk about alonso jumping ship is hot air..
he isnt leaving the team he has the best chance of winning the world championship with
( he will never go to ferrari.. and ferrari will never want him )

The season finale is inching closer. Mclaren seem to have a comfy lead to their arch rivals Ferrari. At the Monza test Mclaren were on tops but both the Ferrari drivers have taken top honours in first practice. What will happen in the race? Lets the predictions start coming in.

superavi · 7th September 2007, 16:53

I'm not sure the lead is Comfy. There is a lead, and McLaren should just be able to hold on to it, but it certainly isnt a comforatable one.

Monza - Ferrari all the way - another Ferrari one - two is my prediction.

Ferrari+McLaren+Ferrari

Ferraari(Massa)+ Ferrari(Kimi) + Mclaren( Hamilton) +............

shuvc · 7th September 2007, 17:05

Though I'll be rooting for Lewis, methinks Kimi will walk away with the honours.

Would be good if these prediction threads have a poll.

BUSA · 7th September 2007, 17:11

I hope its a Ferrari 1-2 and Mclaren dont do that well, then we can have a better grand finale to the finish.
