F1 News Round Up: Papering over the cracks
Thursday 1 November 2007
There are few problems in F1 that can’t be sorted out with a large wad of cash and the threat of legal action. And so as Fernando Alonso’s management affirms that his driver will not be forced out of McLaren, we also have Hamilton insisting that he and Alonso are friends.
No one wants Alonso to leave McLaren. McLaren want two of the three fastest drivers in F1 (if Raikkonen wanted to be a test driver for McLaren, they’d accept all three). Alonso wants to be in the fastest team in F1: as Ferrari won’t have him, he’ll settle for McLaren. Hamilton enjoyed beating Alonso in 2007 and will happily do it again.
Hence the reason why PR machine is suddenly going into overdrive.
