Is Fernando trolling Daniel?

2013 Belgian Grand Prix

Amid the speculation that Daniel Ricciardo will be driving a widebody RB10 for Red Bull Racing next year comes this obscure tweet from Fernando Alonso:

We wonder, is he trolling? His Ferrari contract ties him to Maranello until the end of the 2016 season, although we note contracts can be broken if both parties agree.

So, could Fernando really be heading to Red Bull or is he just announcing he’s got a new shampoo sponsor, or something?

While I hope Daniel gets the gig at RBR, the soap opera of an Alonso-Vettel pairing would be sensational. World championship quality tantrums at the ready!

Well done to Fernando and his sponsors for showing his true colours as a devotee of sport.

Hopefully we’ll see him coming to Adelaide in January for their first race under new ownership at the Tour Down Under – an event attended by more journalists than Bernie’s over-blinged go kart race in the parklands (part of which has been rebuilt as a cycling track) ever attracted.
