ALONSO TO DRIVE FOR RENAULT

Fernando Alonso has just signed up to drive for renault in the upcoming season.He has put an end t o the speculation that he might be taking a sabbatical for the following season and then join Ferrari.He had to leave Mclaren as he was unhappy with the preferential treatment that Hamilton got at Mclaren.Mclaren had to hand over the championship to Ferrari because of lack of unity and cohesion in the team.Alonso will be joined at renault by 22 year old rookie Nelson Piquet junior,son of former three time world champ Nelson Piquet senior.Now the biggest challenge for Renault is that they must provide the double world champion with the car that is capable of contending for the title.The below par Giancarlo Fisichella has been disposed off and that is a big move of the team so far in this season.Alonso it seems this season may have to be content with a mediocre season.
