Off course the sponsor play a big part, where else would the teams get the �/$ required to go racing, but is it not the team principals decision at the end of the day if he want the sponsor to run the team or if he wants to run the team?

If Ron Dennis is such a 'straight down the middle' type of guy should he even be considering the course of action he is reported to be considering taking?

It just goes to show that sponsorship plays a big part in F1 but, I don't agree with sponsors meddling in team affairs.

It seems Kimi is still the 2007 F1 Champion..clicky

Just as well really as F1 would have been in a right mess if the decision had gone the other way

Kimi has already said that he will not hang around in F1, but even if he is still at Ferrari in 2009 he won't care if Alonso joins, so will be quite happy to "play at No.2".

Flavio will take him back - at any price - but it is suggested that RonD may prevent this. But, money talks - and Ron could do with a bob or two for next year
How can Ron D prevent this then when Mclaren have basically tore up his contract?
BTW it's two and not too

Do you believe everything you read in the press?

They have parted their ways at "mutual" consent - but probably not to Rons dis-advantage.

Alonso will bide his time in 2008 - and then win the World Championship in 2009 for Ferrari
