According to the latest sensational rumors in the industry, Heikki Kovalainen may have the opportunity to drive for McLaren-Mercedes next year. The idea is based on an exchange between him and Fernando Alonso, which would materialize at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
Alonso, as we know, is the subject of much speculation regarding a possible imminent departure from McLaren, which continues to grow despite the team’s boss Ron Dennis stating that no decision would be made in the next two weeks.<\/p>\n
However, this hasn’t stopped rumors suggesting that Alonso could be at the center of a swap with Kovalainen. The McLaren driver is expected to return to lead his former team while the Finnish driver for Renault would move to McLaren.<\/p>\n
And although Kovalainen would like to drive for McLaren, he is under contract with Renault until the end of this year, he admits that it is pure speculation.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Yes, absolutely, but I think these are just rumors at the moment, \u00bb he stated on ITV regarding the rumors of a trade.<\/p>\n
\u00ab But honestly, we have talked to several teams and all I can say is that I have a contract with Renault until the end of the year. We have to wait and see what other drivers do, \u00bb continued the Finnish driver.<\/p>\n
The young driver also admitted that he would not be opposed to the idea of another season with Renault because he believes they will be more competitive in 2008 than they have been this year.<\/p>\n
He added: \u00ab I hope I’ll be in a competitive team next year. I think Renault can be very competitive next year. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab It is still very difficult to say what will happen, \u00bb he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
