Will He? Won't He?.....Happy Or Sad

I think this could be a long running saga and continual topic/question for many race weekends this season

I reckon we'll get a mid-season announcement that Fernando will retire at the end of the year. However, I am braced for a surprise (in either direction).

Here's one way he's going to cheer himself up this year

I remember when Jim Clark skipped Monaco for Indy. I can't remember any active F1 driver doing it in the current era..

It's not like McLaren will REALLY be at Monaco anyway...

I think it's a brilliant decision.  Honda still stinks in F1 this year, so why not go where they do well - Indy.  Good for Alonso as well...he's already ticked off Monaco a couple of times, but the Indy oval is not something very many modern F1 drivers have done except as a retirement plan.

It's not a Mclaren Indycar why call it that?If anything the jinz might follow
Alonso do Indy.

I think that Alonso's future is actually in the hands of Mercedes.  If they decide to bring him into the team in place of Bottas, he'll definitely be on the grid next year, but if not I'm not sure he will stay, unless Honda make big strides with the engine in the second half of the year, which seems improbable.
