Rumors... The Belgian website "autosports.be" came back yesterday evening on Ron Dennis's possible withdrawal at the end from the season. According to the German newspaper "automobile motor und sport", Mercedes and McLaren's extra-sports activities are at the origin of the conflict. The brand at the star refuses to supply engines at the concept-cars developed by the team of Woking. And the giant of Stuttgart will create a new supercar but without McLaren. If effectively Ron Dennis leaves the team, he'll be probably replaced by Martin Whitmarsh.

No illusion... Fernando Alonso thinks that 2009 will be a difficult season for Renault. He returned on the question on "Cadena Ser" : "Honestly, I consider that it will be difficult, because although numerous major modifications will be organized the next season, it's likely that certain positions will change, but we have never seen a team which thrashes about in the middle of grid one year to beat suddenly all its rivals the next year. These things are always made with the time, because it's always difficult to fill the distances."

To note :

1. Felipe Massa's V8 Ferrari gave in because of a failing connecting rod.
2. The wing of shark won't appear on MP4-23 to Valencia and to Spa.
