Mercedes considering fernando alonso to replace nico rosberg

That's an interesting rumor!

According to various sources, including the BBC and Motorsport.com, Mercedes is indeed considering Fernando Alonso as a potential replacement for Nico Rosberg, who announced his retirement from Formula 1 in December 2016.

Alonso, a two-time World Champion with Ferrari, has been linked to the Mercedes seat due to his impressive driving skills, experience, and ability to adapt to new cars. The 36-year-old Spaniard has been driving for McLaren since 2015, but his contract is set to expire at the end of the 2018 season.

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has confirmed that the team is exploring options for the 2017 season, and Alonso's name has been mentioned as a potential candidate. However, it's worth noting that Alonso has not officially confirmed his availability or interest in joining Mercedes.

Other drivers, such as Lewis Hamilton's teammate Valtteri Bottas, have also been linked to the Mercedes seat. Bottas has been driving for Williams since 2013 and has impressed with his performances, making him a strong contender for the Mercedes seat.

It's still early days, and the situation is fluid, but it's exciting to think about the possibility of Alonso joining the dominant Mercedes team!
