Is he going to buy himself into Lotus, a Stewart-Haas kinda situation?

That's what I was thinking.

Lotus runs Mercedes engines and he already said he wont run with Mercedes engines. Buying into Haas is an option but they join in 2016 and he also said he won't take a sabatical. Then again, Haas enters in 2016 so they don't have to follow the F1 rules yet so they could test the entire 2015 season if they like like Toyota did (unless there are new restrictions on tyres and engines).

But frankly I'm expecting to get disappointed and he's joining McLaren.

Ericsson to Sauber, "some" sources are saying (Bild and Blick).

Eje Elgh: "Nothing is confirmed, but Sauber is definitely one of the teams that Ericsson's management is talking to."

Third car at Mercedes or Red Bull sounds nice for Alonso IMO

Alonso being forced into a self-inflicted sabbatical sounds even nicer TBH.

I'm going to quote myself here and give this another spin.

- The relation between Ferrari and Alonso is at a low but they prefer to keep him in a Ferrari over him in another race winning team.
- Bernie, other teams and Alonso knew about the situation at Caterham and Marussia. Hence the comments by Alonso that he's working on it for a while now.
- Because of this they will allow customer cars in 2015. Fits in the working on it for a while now comment.
- Alonso either starts from scratch or buys Marussia or Caterham or joins up with Haas and runs customer Ferrari's.

I know its still kinda far fetched but leaving Ferrari wouldn't necessarily be best for Ferrari. If the McLaren-Honda isn't a turd and he goes there, its another competitor for them. Having him in a customer car team means he can still win race for them and it gives them extra data.


/edit: on another forum someone is saying that Sky is saying Alonso to Haas F1. Either they stole my thoughts or I was very close for once

If he really is buying into a team, he hasn't learned from Fittipaldi. That would be quite dense

Alonso could try IndyCar, there is a space open at Andretti.

That's what my money is on.

For the sake of variety, I'm going to throw Saubers name into the ring.... It's already powered by Ferrari, they've got the basic structure to create a great car, they just need to financial backing to bring the right people to the team....

Felipe Nasr has told Globo TV that he will drive for Sauber next year.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Sutil didn't seem to know about either of those announcements, and has politely suggested that the team has a discussion with him...

Jenson to Nissan LMP seems likely.

I understand the second Force India seat is between Perez and Chilton.

Chilton can fuck off

Eurosport commentator Joao Carlos Costa just posted that Button will announce his 2015-switch to Toyota WEC on Sunday, after the race. Replacing Lapierre.

So that's Porsche, Nissan and now Toyota. When are the talks with Audi rumour coming?
