The 2007 season is over, at least the on track action, and after some short relatively quiet period, the rumour mill is picking up the speed again.

As it has been the case since pretty much the Hungarian GP, Fernando Alonso is in center of everything. The Ferrari connection is pretty much over for a time being at least. If he plans to race next year there seem to be only 3 options left for him - remain at McLaren, return to Renault or grab a seat at Toyota. The McLaren option seems to be out of a question but who knows. Pedro de la Rosa has been giving some hints that this is exactly what may happen in the end. But still there are not too many people that would bet on Alonso to stay put. (But there were not too many people whou would a week ago bet on Kimi to win the title.) The widely expected return to Renault has been downplayed by Alonso himself. When asked by Spanish radio station Cadena Ser whether Renault would be his first choice if he were to leave McLaren, he replied - “Right now I’d say no”. This may be also be the reason for some weird words from Flavio Briatore. Looking around the paddock the only decent (not a top) team with seats and money is Toyota. Why would he want to go to a team where everyone else failed ? Challenge to be the first one to succeed ? Why not, Michael Schumacher also went to Ferrari at the time the team was nowhere near the top…

Planet F1 published this quote from Flavio Briatore from interview with Antenna 3 television.

“In the last races they should have left Alonso out. They should have put a reserve in Alonso’s place and Hamilton would have won without any problem.”

Is he just expressing his pragmatic opinion on the team management or is this reaction to this reply from Alonso to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser on Sunday:

“Right now I’d say no”

when asked whether Renault would be his first choice if he were to leave McLaren ?

Somehow I have no doubts about Felipe Massa’s loyalty to the Ferrari cause, and I believe that he is genuinely happy that Ferrari driver has won the title again. That does not however mean, that he was happy, to have to sacrifice the chance for his second win at his home race. There is no guarantee he will in Brazilian GP again in the future. Look at Rubens Barrichello, no matter how hard he tried in a very competitive Ferrari, he never made it …

Ferrari claims, that they announced the new contract extension with Massa in order to silence the Alonso to Ferrari rumours. This sound like solid explanation, but I wonder if there was more to it. He was very vocal about his target for Brazil - he wanted to win to race. This is what he said just few days before his new contract announcement:

“At Interlagos, I will be trying to win the race,” Massa confirmed. “For sure, Kimi still has a chance of winning the championship, even if it is a small one and it will be difficult. My personal target is victory, but if we see any possibility of helping the team to win the driver’s title, then of course I will be doing what I can. But this is not the way to approach the race weekend.”
