Alonso to Red Bull?

There's some speculation that McLaren may have imposed a condition on Fernando Alonso's exit. It is possible that McLaren have stipulated that Alonso cannot go to a manufacturer backed team. This would preclude Ferrari, Renault, Toyota and Honda.

So if in the next few days Alonso is signed as a driver for Red Bull, the likelihood is that the exit clause exists. Apparently David Coulthard's contract is watertight, so Mark Webber could find himself as a Renault or McLaren driver.

I would dearly love to see Jensen Button in a McLaren, though, to see what he could do in a top class car. With traction control banned next year, he would be spectacular to watch.

Squiffy.
