Fernando Alonso sparks Red Bull transfer rumours

Fernando Alonso has sparked rumours that he may be on the verge of signing for Red Bull.

In a Tweet he made from his official page, he has stated “I have important news coming these days. Stay tuned here on Twitter and on the Web…” A rather cryptic post to say the least.

After his manager was spotted holding talks with Christian Horner at the Hungarian Grand Prix, rumours have surfaced of a switch to Red Bull next season – as Mark Webber’s replacement.

However, it seems very unlikely that the announcement “in the next few days” will be to announce he is leaving Ferrari, with the Italian Grand Prix fast approaching this weekend.  If an announcement of this magnitude was to be made, I’m sure Ferrari would prefer to hold off until after the Grand Prix on Ferrari’s home turf.

……..Or maybe he’s actually formed a pop duo with his old friend Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton/Alonso double act?
