fter a performance at the
United States Grand Prix
which reminded everyone
why Fernando Alonso is regarded as
the best driver of the current era, by
many Formula 1 team bosses and
senior engineers, he told media that
he remains committed to McLaren
and Honda even if the big teams
came calling.
When asked by a Turun Sanomat
reporter if he would consider a move
to Mercedes or Red Bull if they cam
calling, the Spaniard replied, “I do
not think they will because they have
drivers for the next two years. I have
a contract with McLaren-Honda in
2017 and the following year.”
“The most important factor for
me is what kind of feelings I get from
the cars with the new rules. At this
time, the idea of having the best car
or changing team does not motivate
me.”
“I firmly believe that McLaren is
the best team and the best working
group I have ever worked with. We
know that we are all on the same
page and each gives the maximum in
the same direction.”
“This gives me confidence that
we have a complete team and the
results will come, as long as all
the technical problems have been
eliminated. This should happen next
season,” predicted the two times
world champion
