Might be something to do with him moving to a tax haven or something!!!! :D

Spot on, I'd say it's got far more to do with keeping his hands on more of his obscene salary than shaking hands with fans in service station shitters

Oct.31 (GMM) F1's most experienced driver could be relegated to the smallest team on the grid for 2008, despite his contract to race for Honda next year.

It was reported recently that, although the Japanese squad announced the extension of Brazilian veteran Rubens Barrichello's contract not only in July but again last month, Honda boss Nick Fry may have re-engaged with the driver market amid the prospect of Fernando Alonso's McLaren exit.

Just as Takuma Sato was downgraded to the Honda satellite team at the end of 2005, then, 35-year-old Barrichello could also be facing a move to Super Aguri, according to the British magazine F1 Racing.

Barrichello conspicuously failed to score a single point this season, and reportedly drew the ire of the team with several below-par performances compared with teammate Jenson Button.

One Honda mechanic is quoted as saying: "It's about time he retired, isn't it?"

:laugh: harsh.

Fernando Alonso’s manager insists the two-time world champion will not be forced out of McLaren in a swap deal against his wishes.

The Spaniard is thought unlikely to remain with the Woking squad into the second year of his contract after a season in which his relationship with team boss Ron Dennis has broken down.

With the 26-year-old’s McLaren future looking bleak, speculation grew towards the end of the season about his likely destination for 2008 – with a return to Renault, in a possible job swap with Heikki Kovalainen, given most credence.

Further rumours have linked Alonso to joining a team on a one-year deal to allow him to join Ferrari in 2009, although both the Scuderia’s driver’s are now signed up on deals that cover that season.

A swap deal involving Williams’ Nico Rosberg has been one such move suggested, but Alonso’s manager Luis Garcia has dismissed these rumours and is adamant his driver won’t be going anywhere without agreeing to it.

"If that's what people are saying then they know more than me,†he was quoted as saying by the Guardian newspaper.

“We have a contract next year with McLaren and that's it.

“Can they sell it? Without our approval, no they cannot."

The deposed world champion’s future is set to become clearer in the coming weeks, after Dennis said McLaren would turn its attention to driver issues in the fortnight after the Brazilian finale.

However the uncertainty looks set to continue for a little longer yet as Garcia says he has no meetings with the British team planned yet.

"Nothing is urgent,†he said.

“We are trying to rest a little.

“I have no special meetings with McLaren scheduled
