Here's the deal. A financial group in which Alonso has a stake, supported by Santander appears to be in negotiations to buy out one of the 4 teams currently for sale on the grid. The new team appears to have cut a quiet deal with Mercedes for engines. As part of the package, Alsono's equity stake in the group would increase based on his performance, such that he could end up as the majority shareholder in 3-4 yrs and then he would run the team as a business following his racing career. This is the "big, ambitious idea" he has in his "head" as he says, and this is how his comment that he would be with a team with a Mercedes engine fits in... this story has been bubbling up in F1 circles even before Singapore, where at the Amber Club everyone was talking about it. What has ESPNF1 been so quite about it? Even Jenson has finally figured this out and that is likely the reason why he says that he is "relaxed now" about his seat for 2015.

@ArisRoutis: No, but just because there are rumours around does not mean we need to report them. I meant confirmation as in - McLaren confirm he is driving there next year, or Audi confirms he is driving in Le Mans, something like that. Until then, anyone writing that they know for a fact where Alonso is going is lying to ensure readers.

Vettel may not be arrogant, and may be a very good driver, but a few decades ago, in order to have 4 titles, you needed to be one of the greatest, had some luck an a good, car. Now only the car is needed, the driver talent comes third or fourth. 3 Cars teams will make races more interesting, and champions more valuable.
