Where you going Fernando?

Alonso's heartache when his car stalled was felt by everyone watching. Twenty-four hours later, he made history by winning the first every night race.

Together with Renault's Pat Symonds, they came up with a superb strategy that allowed him to take the chequered flag at the end of an eventful race.

Now that there are small signs that Renault is slowly improving, the question on fans' minds must be: Will Alonso still be with Renault in 2009?

There have always been speculations that Alonso would end up driving for Ferrari one day. But since Ferrari have extended Raikkonen's contract to 2010, that seat is unavailable.

In theory, he could switch to Honda. But Honda have yet to show any promise, despite having Ross Brawn on board. So [I][/I]in theory[I][/I], he has two logical choices. He either stays at Renault, or moves to BMW Sauber.

It is an open secret that BMW Sauber are courting the two-time champ. Rumours are that they will ask Robert Kubica to leave. But why Kubica? Hasn't he been consistent? Doesn't Alonso rate him highly?

True on both counts. But apparently BMW and Kubica currently have something of a frosty relationship, the reason for which is Kubica's open criticism of certain management decisions.

One thing is for sure though: Alonso will not want to spend another season racing in an uncompetitive car.
