Alonso to return to F1 in 2021
Spanish two-time world champion Fernando Alonso is set to return to Formula 1 with Renault next year.

Added interest to the midfield scrap. A lot of the younger drivers will be happy to get the chance to race against him.
Not sure on Fernando’s reasoning behind it all though.
F1 is literally costing Mercedes a fortune, they have already achieved way more than they wanted to do. Do they really want to commit to another 5-10 years of spending on a dinosaur of a sport with zero relevance to their main business?
Are you sure? I thought F1 cost Mercedes almost nothing. Something like £20 million which is very little for the world wide exposure they get.
Renault must be scraping the barrel to sign toxic Alonso. Everyone was relieved when he left F1. I hope its only a rumor.

Edit:
This is old data now but says Daimler contribute less than £40 million but get the equivalent of $3.7 billion in advertising.
Mercedes reveals cost of 2018 Formula 1 world championship win
The Mercedes Formula 1 team earned and spent almost the same amount in 2018 as it did in 2017, newly released accounts have revealedwww.autosport.com
They spend well over $400M every year just on running the team. And then there is r&d, engines, etc., which are in separate companies and on top.
Some will be covered by sponsorships and prize money but it's a good bet it costs Mercedes a good bit more than £20M to win championships.
If teams could win championships on £20M then everyone would be doing it and there would be no talks about budget caps, etc.
This dashes my hopes that GR would get the other Mercedes seat and Bottas would move to Renault.
Where does Vettel go now? He is running out of options very quickly!
shoosh...... racist to mention such things..... you evil monster!
