Fernando Alonso back to Renault formula one team

Fernando Alonso has confirmed his return to the Renault F1 team, the team with which he won both of his world championship. It was expected after Renault suffered no penalties after the McLaren spygate incident. Fernando Alonso had joined McLaren last year, but allegations of cheating and favouring Lewis Hamilton spoiled his relationship with Ron Dennis and subsequently they parted ways ! Lewis Hamilton has often been called Ron Dennis’s baby :P
Nelsinho Picquet will be the one driving alongside Fernando Alonso, the Brazilian rookie is the son of Nelson Piquet and is expected to give a tough fight to Alonso. However with Flavio Briatore in the picture, it seems obvious that the young brazilian will definitely be the number 2 driver and Alonso will be given preference in all matters pertaining to formula one

    now I wonder who will get the McLaren seat … Kovalainen ? But 2 young guys with not much set up experience in a team like McLaren may be a bit risky … It will be probably down to de la Rosa and Kovalainen, with de la Rosa probably the safer option for ROn Dennis. But maybe he needs to keep getting his dose of adrenalin and will decide for Hamilton Kovalainen pairing …

    I think he had enough of the adrenalin dose this year :P

    If my guess is correct it would be De La Rosa, he has been testing nicely for the McLaren team.
