F1 News: Alonso to give Red Bull 0.6 seconds?

Tuesday 30 October 2007

Fernando Alonso The latest Fernando Alonso rumours suggest that the Spaniard may be going to Red Bull Racing next year - providing he can get the contract he wants.

It seems the stumbling block is the fact that Alonso wants a one-year contract and Red Bull wants to tie him in for longer.

So why would Alonso be worried about staying at Red Bull Racing for longer than a year? Money and a fast car is all a driver wants (hey, don’t we all?) and Red Bull are not short of cash. So Alonso must be expecting that the Red Bull won’t be fast enough for him.

So let’s take a look at Red Bull’s performance at the last race of the year, the Brazilian GP. In qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix, Alonso qualified fourth, while Mark Webber, in the Red Bull, was fifth. The gap between them was six tenths of a second.

Well, that’s a relief. Because we all know Fernando Alonso gave McLaren six tenths of a second last season, so he’ll have no problem making the Red Bull just as competitive.

Expect Fernando to sign a five-year contract today.
