Schumi in McLaren / Raikkonen in Ferrari and other Sci-Fi stories

If you make the terms "Alonso will replace Michael Schumacher at Ferrari", then you're on.

Since Alonso is Spanish and this is Spain... and he's the first Spaniard to win a race (at least in modern history), 90% or F1 news here revolves around him. Because of that, whatever news comes out of him or whoever is close to him, is reported everywhere here. Not too long ago, it seems M Schumacher said he would not like to race alongside Alonso... that would mean that if Alonso moves to Ferrari, he would only do so after Schumacher left. Also, there is some rumour spread around Spain that Alonso has some kind of pre-contract with Ferrari, although it seems odd. Still, probably we'd see a Massa-Alonso prancing horse team in the near future. I would think (and hope) McLaren will remain the same.

Sounds like Australia, we only get F1 news because Mark Webber races. He can finish dead last and the results will show First, Second, Third and Webber.

It's even worse here. After the race, when the unilateral interviews, no matter where Alonso finished, they'll only translate his comments. As last race, Kimi first, Alonso seond and JPM third. All interviewing in English, only Alonso's comments were translated, and when Kimi and JPM spoke, the commentators spoke over and over again about Alonso's comments. Even JPM; speaking in Spanish at the end of the interview was ignored... If Alonso doesn't make it to the podium, we don't even see unilaterals.

Well not by reports from the bosses at Ferrari and McLaren saying it will not happen.
