A sad day in motorsports! :(
As of this afternoon, he has 90 total Grand Prix wins and 153 podiums. Nothing short of incredible! Discuss.

He got the nod as the highest paid athlete last year or the year before that earning $76 million. As much as it might be sad to see him go, he has done it all, won 5 championships/helped Ferrari snatch 6 constructors titles...he has nothing left to prove or race for. The guy has worked his ass off and deserves time to spend with his family and enjoy life. Ferrari's lineup of Raikonnen and Massa for next year doesnt sound too bad for next year.

He could always start drifting. That would be one hell of a career move...from the most controlled racing in the corners, to being out of control. LOL.
I suggest that he buy an Evo and AutoX it. LOL.

I can only imagine the premiums his dealership would be able to get away with.

I'm certain that he will still be involved in racing. He is one amazing driver.

In a way I can agree with where you are coming from. Depending on how reliable McLaren engines are next year, Alonso may or may not be the fastest person around. It's certainly going to be a toss up and not as "guaranteed" anymore...
