Alonso commits to Renault return in 2008

Fernando Alonso has signed a letter of intent to rejoin Renault starting next January (2008), according to emerging reports.

Germany's Bild newspaper said the document is the precursor to a definitive three-year contract (2008-2010), but only if the reigning world champion can successfully negotiate an end to his current McLaren deal.

Alonso is currently under contract to McLaren also for 2008, with an option to continue in 2009.

The news of Alonso's likely return to Renault follows reports that Toyota was offering the Spaniard a record retainer to switch to the Japanese car giant for 2008.
 
The German magazine Sport Bild said the Cologne based team was prepared to fork out (US) $150 million for a three year deal; a comparable amount of money to that earned by Michael Schumacher at Ferrari towards the end of his illustrious career.

1 : Fernando must be completely crazy to mess up his career by going back to that loser team

2 : Toyota has finally got the right idea - to hire a driver who can win races instead of the two idiots they have been keeping. Wonder what Trulli would be thinking about being Alonso's team mate again ? But offering the driver that amount of money and not getting the car competitive is not going to win them any races


I have NOT lost my mind — I have it backed up on tape somewhere.
