Alonso calls it quits at Mercedes-McLaren

Fernando Alonso’s manager has confirmed that the 26-year-old Spaniard is free to leave McLaren ahead of the 2008 season. Widespread Spanish sources - including the news agency EFE and newspapers Diario As, El Mundo Deportivo and Marca - said Alonso’s legal representatives successfully negotiated a split in meetings at McLaren’s Woking (UK) headquarters on Thursday and Friday morning.

The double world champion, who signed a multi year contract with boss Ron Dennis that began in 2007, reportedly does not need to pay any compensation to McLaren, and is free to join any rival team next year.

Why yes, I have. In fact I drove one for a while. That does seem what will most likely happen but Renault weren't all that competitive last season, perhaps his return would rejuvenate the team and boost moral.

I think this is the most probable solution. God, I hope he goes back to Renault though.... With Renaults slow cars lately, it'd keep him in the back where he belongs.
