Brutal, they have really tried to hide how severe his injuries are.. sound bad with the little bit that is trickling out. 99/100 people, who don't have Michael's money, die with his injuries.

 

Damn, its been a year??

Mercedes wants Alonso if Hamilton deal cannot be reached for 2016 ~ Toto Wolff

Interesting. So does Alonso only have a one year contract with McLaren, or is this saying that Merc will pay anything to get Alonso on board?

 

Hard to tell as I have yet to see any details on Alonso's contract although Ron Dennis did confirm both drivers were signed to multi year deals , in Button's case it's 2 years , Alonso's is undisclosed

 

I doubt Hamilton will leave unless there are serious issues this year

 

I don't think that's the issue , I think the problem will occur over whether or not they can agree on a salary

 

I understand and agree, but he would be crazy to leave. Especially after he wins another championship this year.

 

People said he was crazy to leave McLaren too , who knows , time will tell . I hope that the Honda powerplant is as good as the hype and that the FIA lifts the season long engine freeze for this season , then we will have a real interesting year

Sounds like Honda, mclaren, and Alonso get the short end of the stick this year.
