Renault gather $90m to woo Alonso

Date November 7, 2007

As reported on ManipeF1.com, Renault has pooled an incredible (US) $90 million to try to woo Fernando Alonso back to the French team in 2008 and 2009. The problem is that Alonso apparently only wants a one year contract hoping to join a better team (Ferrari?) in 2009. This doesn’t make a lot of sense as Ferrari are not going to replace Raikkonen with Alonso in 2009, and Alonso showed this year that he doesn’t want to drive with a more (or equally) talented teammate. If he doesn’t go to Renault for 2 years, I am not sure where he is going to end up. This will be interesting to watch.
