McLaren and Renault and Kimi and Alonso. The Saga Continues…

December 18th, 2006

Ok. So first it was that Renault would not let Alonso drive a McLaren car until next year because his contract expires December 31st 2006. Next I hear Renault saying “Gee, Nobody asked us if he could go test, It’s not like we would stop him, but nobody asked”.

Next thing I hear, Alonso is in the Mclaren Formula one car at Jerez testing. I guess someone asked and Renault said “Sure, no problem”. I’m thinking, Good for Renault.

Next, All I’m seeing is how McLaren didn’t let Kimi out of his contract to test. Now I’m thinking how nasty it is to expect Renault to let Alonso come and test but you won’t let Kimi go to his new team. How Evil is Mclaren?

Now I’m hearing that Mclaren had to pay Renault $2.6 Million to have Alonso for the day so it wasn’t just Renault being nice after all.

Now, I don’t know if Renault is Evil, Or McLaren is Evil or neither or both ….

What I do know is I wish someone would pay me $2.6 Million for a day of my time.
