Alonso And Schumacher Crash Australia 2010

On the first lap of the Australian Grand prix 2010 Michael Schumacher was shunted into a spin by the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso. This is sure to heat up their already fiery relationship at the start of the new formula one season. Lewis Hamilton (top left of picture) got an excellent start and can be seen avoiding imminent collision with ex team mate Alonso.

Alonso Says He Could Quit At The End Of The Season

Fernando Alonso has revealed that he could quit the Renault formula 1 team at the end of the season.  The two time world champion returned to Renault after a roller-coaster ride of a year at Mclaren in 2007.  He has also revealed his disappointment with his uncompetitive car.

“I’m at Renault because I wanted to get back to winning, like in 2005 and 2006, if not this year then next year,” Alonso revealed to a spanish newspaper today.

“But I have an option to leave so I can be in the best possible car, and it is clear Ferrari is one of the best.” This statement supports rumours that Alonso’s return to Renault would be short lived as he waited for a spot at Ferrari.  He has even commented on Felipe Massa’s disastrous opening two races.

“It’s early to talk about moves and rumours, but Massa has had two bad races with mistakes and that has kicked off speculation,” Alonso said.”It’s logical, but it’s too early.”

Fernando Alonso Fits Right Back In At Renault

For the skeptics out there that thought Fernando Alonso would struggle upon arrival back at the Renault formula 1 team we have some footage that may be of interest to you! This video of Fernando Alonso shows him thoroughly testing his car at Jerez last week.

From what I can see he has slotted right back in at Renault which is great as it means this season will be even more exciting that 2007. Now Lewis Hamilton and Alonso can really battle it out! I can’t wait.
