This morning comes a confirmation that Fernando Alonso, the F1 champion for 2005 has signed a contract for 2007 with McLaren. This means that either Kimi Raikkonen or Juan Pablo Montoya or both will not be there in 2007. Which one is likely to go? If it's a push I would guess Montoya might be the odd man out. But what is also possible is that Raikkonen has already signed with another team (Ferrari?) -- meaning someone there is on the way out. My guess would be Schumacher is retiring.
Even more byzantine is that Flavio Briatore is Alonso's manager (as well as team principal at Renault, the team that Alonso is leaving). What does this mean for him? Is he done at Renault, is he no longer Alonso's manager? Of course there are also persistent rumours that Renault will leave F1 in 2007 so who knows what is going on?
