The latest rumor floating in the paddock is that Fernando Alonso may not be out of the hunt for a seat at Ferrari in 2010. Yes, the Spanish paper Marca has suggested that long-time Alonso sponsor Santander has offered to buy out Kimi Raikkonen’s contract, which was just extended until 2011, in order to make room for Fernando.
The article suggests that Ferrari extended the contract with Kimi in order to get him to get behind and support Felipe Massa’s championship bid this year as kimi is, for effective reason, out of the hunt. Now, Marca is probably not the most unbiased when it comes to Fernando but as rumors fly, so will our opinions.
