Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 rumor of the day - Alonso to Ferrari for $40million

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

As long as Luca is in charge of Ferrari in some capacity I don't think
Michael will get to drive. But, if he leaves, and if Michael wants to, I
think he could drive again.  Absent that possibility though, I could see
Kimi and Fernando being as competitive and angry at each other as Lewis and
Fernando are now at McLaren.  But, drivers don't have to love one another,
just not crash into one another and take each other out (Prost/Senna?)
Alonso is a good driver, Kimi needs a WDC to his credit, but not methinks
this year.  Maybe Alonso knows something about this year's McLaren that he
can, uh, share with Ferrari if/when he comes over. Clyde's right, of course.
We're Ferrari fans, whomever the drivers happen to be.  We might like some
more or less, but the team is the thing.
