"Alesi, a 47-year-old Frenchman of Italian descent whose lone F1 victory in his 13-year career came in 1995 for Ferrari, made his final F1 start in 2001. He hasn’t raced an open wheel car since but competed in DTM from 2002-2006 before moving on to sports cars. He was named test driver and ambassador for Lotus Renault GP’s F1 effort in January of 2011."

As much as I was [and remain] a huge Jean Alesi fan, I hope he is not going to do this.
Nothing to be gained and plenty to be lost.

And we'll never know what could have been had Alesi stuck with Tyrrell for a bit & then went to Williams.
