Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Fernando Alonso, James Allison and More

As one of the finest drivers of his generation, Fernando Alonso would dearly love to fight for the Formula One title once more.

But with his McLaren-Honda team still not quite strong enough to compete for major honours, the two-time world champion is, like the rest of us, taking much interest in the battle between Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

Rosberg was the overwhelming favourite to claim the 2016 crown after victories in each of the opening four races gave him a 43-point championship lead, but Hamilton has taken just two months to turn that large deficit into a six-point advantage.

And Alonso is backing his former McLaren team-mate, who he believes is among the most difficult drivers to race alongside, to win a fourth title this year.

Ferrari were expecting to end their eight-year wait for a world championship in 2016, but their bad season has become much worse following the inevitable but sad departure of technical director James Allison.

Allison had been strongly linked to a return to the Enstone, England-based Renault team earlier this season, with the confirmation of his exit from the Prancing Horse opening the door for that switch to be made.

Another paddock figure likely to leave his position before the end of 2016 is Daniil Kvyat, who has spent the last two months fighting to save his F1 career.

The Russian's place on the grid has been in serious jeopardy since his seat swap with Max Verstappen ahead of the Spanish GP, although it was unclear whether Toro Rosso would retain him alongside Carlos Sainz Jr. for next season.

However, it has emerged Red Bull have decided to release Kvyat at the end of the year after the 22-year-old's struggle to regain his form in a low-pressure environment.

One driver who is going nowhere for now is Rio Haryanto, who has been handed a stay of execution with Manor for this weekend's German GP.
