The wrong choice of hire carAlthough he won`t switch from Renault until next year, world champion Fernando Alonso has already tested a silver Mercedes.
However, the car in question was a Mercedes-Benz road car, as he made his way to a recent test session for Renault, according to Germany`s Sport1 website.
Alonso confessed that the choice of hire car could have been wiser.
"But it wasn`t my fault," the Spaniard reportedly said in a radio interview, "it was just what the rental company gave me."
It has also emerged that a Mercedes-Benz once driven by Michael Schumacher will be auctioned later this month.
The starting bid will be $830,000, for the Sauber-Mercedes C11 that the German steered to fifth at Le Mans in 1991.
