Uncertainty at Renault has Alonso move on hold:

The latest “spying” controversy between Renault F1 and McLaren (Competition, Nov. 19) has put a hold on two-time world champion Fernando Alonso’s possible return to his former team.

Renault admitted that former McLaren engineer Phil Mackereth brought three CD-ROMs of stolen McLaren technical data to Renault when he joined the team in September 2006. Renault fired Mackereth but is scheduled to appear before the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Monaco on Dec. 6. Eighteen Renault employees admitted viewing McLaren’s data. Some F1 insiders predict that Renault will quit the sport if the WMSC finds it guilty and hands down a fine similar to the $100 million it docked McLaren earlier this year for its possession of stolen Ferrari data.

Renault has not committed to any drivers for the 2008 season. Alonso, who won his championships with the team in 2005 and ‘06, has stalled negotiations until the WMSC decides the case. Neither of the team’s 2007 race drivers, Heikki Kovalainen and Giancarlo Fisichella, has a contract for 2008. Rumors say Fisichella is out, no matter what happens with Alonso. Rumors also say he will join the Force India (formerly Spyker) team, along with Ralf Schumacher, who will not return to Toyota next year.
