Alonso to race with BMW?

Team principal Mario Theissen has played down suggestions that BMW-Sauber seriously flirted with signing Fernando Alonso for the 2008 season.

Some sections of the media recently linked the long delay in confirming a new BMW contract for Nick Heidfeld next year with reports that unhappy reigning world champion Alonso was looking to leave McLaren.

But Theissen, an unabashed admirer of the 26-year-old Spaniard, told the news agency Sport-Informations-Dienst: “They were two completely separate issues.”

What is newsworthy about this? Yes, there were rumors that BMW was looking to sign Alonso, but it didn't happen. Not much of a story if you ask me.

yeah i think heidfield and kubica are doing so well.I think for next season BMW will keep them.And even they should.

Disgraceful Alonso is better with teams like Renault or Williams.Where he will not be pressurized by his teammate

Alonso is a great talent. I believe McLaren Mercedes likes quiet superstars much like Mika and now Lewis Hamilton. Alonso can be a bit hotheaded and loud and controversial.
