leuk verhaal:
Alonso's switch - we tell how it really happened
December 8, 2006
By Alan Baldwin
London, England - Sometimes a chance remark can change the course of history.
When Fernando Alonso stood on the Brazilian GP podium in 2005 while soaking up the adulation of his jubilant Renault team on what he called "the greatest day of his life", the world saw a 24-year-old confirmed as Formula 1's youngest champion.
What even those closest to the Spaniard did not know was that even as he gave post-race interviews with his racing suit still reeking of Champagne and the cheers ringing in his ears, was that he had set in motion a shock move to McLaren in 2007.
Exactly how the coup came about has been cloaked in mystery since the news burst like a bombshell on

Exactly how the coup came about has been cloaked in mystery since the news burst like a bombshell
.
Alonso has been coy about the details, saying only that he negotiated the switch himself while keeping team manager Flavio Briatore in the dark.
He hinted at concern about Renault's long-term commitment to the sport while others focused on the financial rewards.
This week McLaren boss Ron Dennis filled in some of the background with a version of events that highlighted how a casual compliment turned into something momentous.
"We all thought the door to Alonso was firmly locked," he told me. "The point where it became apparent that it was very clearly not was on the podium at the 2005 Brazilian GP.
"We had come first and second, they were hot and sticky and wiping themselves down around the back and drinking water," said Dennis, whose team had
'We all thought the door to Alonso was firmly locked'
been celebrating its first 1-2 in more than five years
'We all thought the door to Alonso was firmly locked'
.
"Alonso, having come third, was obviously very keen to get the whole thing over with even though he had won the championship.
"It was one of those moments where we were alone for about a minute. "I might have said 'congratulations on the World championship' or something and his response was along the lines of 'Well, the thing about you guys is that you make it so difficult because you keep developing your cars'.
"I said 'You could be part of it' and he just said 'I'd like to be'. I was just stunned. I said 'Are you serious?' and he said 'Yes'."
The two met in great secrecy in a hotel room at the following Japanese GP and, three weeks after the initial conversation, the deal was done.
Since then Alonso has gone on to win his second championship with Renault while Kimi Raikkonen has left McLaren for Ferrari.
Snapped up
There can be little doubt that McLaren feels it has the right man for the job, a driver with the potential to rank alongside the all-time greats.
The team knew Alonso was good when it snapped him up. After the 2006 season it suspects he could be even better than they thought.
"Fernando, I'm sure, will be phenomenal," said chief executive Martin Whitmarsh. "From the moment we decided to pursue Fernando, which from my recollection is slightly different to Ron's, we thought it was the right thing.
"We thought we made the right decision a year ago but it was actually a better decision than we then realised.
'Several setbacks'
"This year I think he has had a much more difficult political environment. When you take on Ferrari, you take on City Hall as well.
"He had several setbacks this year, in terms of stewards decisions," Whitmarsh added, "but he has demonstrated just how battle-hardened he is."
McLaren didn't win in 2005 for the first time in a decade after winning more than Renault the previous season and there can be no excuses in 2007.
McLaren, with Ferrari's Michael Schumacher retired and Canadian Jacques Villeneuve forced out, has the only World champion on the grid." - Reuters

En in 2005 wilde niemand me geloven toen ik zei dat Massa een topper was. Hij heeft in 2006 veeeeeel ogen doen opengaan en zal in 2007 bevestigen. Simple as that.

ik geloof er niet in. hij heeft nog maar weinig tot niets laten zien waardoor ik hem zou bestempelen als een toekomstig wereldkampioen. hij is een goeie rijder, zoals ook barrichello een goeie rijder was. maar ik zie er geen wereldkampioen in.

den-kimi zei:
Als de Ferrari volgend seizoen goed is, wordt Massa gegarandeerd kampioen. Elke piloot heeft een inrijperiode nodig wanneer hij bij een nieuw team komt. Massa had dat vorig seizoen ook en eens hij die periode was gepasseerd, kon hij MS volgen en zelfs verslaan (in Turkije).
Kimi gaat ook eerst die inrijperiode meemaken en tegen dan is Massa al lang gaan vliegen. En zoals ik al zei, je kent de politiek binnen Ferrari e.
