Alonso has shocked the F1 world by announcing that he has officially signed up for Mc Laren. The Youngest World Champ in History will drive the black and silver car in 2007.

The intresting question is now who will partner the Spaniard in 2007. Rumors surrounding Kimi’s move to Ferrari has just gotten stronger. But a quote by Ron Dennis (at the Bottom) shows him inclining for a Fernando and Kimi team. I would love that coz once and for all that would settle the question of who is the better driver.

The following Statement was released by Alonso:

“As everybody will now be aware, I have taken the decision to leave Renault after the 2006 season. I achieved my lifetime ambition with Renault this year, and for my career, I felt that it was time for a new challenge. That will be to try and win with another team.

“At this point in time, though, I am concentrating on 2006. Renault brought me into Formula 1, brought me my first title, and I will be working to repeat that success next year. The signs so far are very positive on every level. I am confident the chassis will be quick, and the engine team are doing a fantastic job on the new V8. I am looking forward to a very successful 2006 season.”

Ron Dennis’ Statements:

“We are in discussions with our current drivers’ Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya regarding the 2007 season. Both Juan Pablo and Kimi are extremely talented, professional and competitive Formula One drivers and they have and will continue to concentrate on our joint challenge for the Championships.”

This Quote shows him inclined towards a Kimi and Alonso team:

“Our aim for next year remains absolutely clear to everybody within the team – we want to win races and be in a position where we might have two Formula One World Champions driving for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes in 2007.”
