After months of speculation about his future plans and talks of a switch to the Indycar series in the upcoming 2018 season, Fernando Alonso has finally revealed his future plans, and they are to remain with his current McLaren Formula One team.
The news, which was released just a few hours ago, underlines the Spanish driver's commitment to the Woking based squad, his long-term ties to the organisation, and his belief in the exciting potential and promise that exists within McLaren and their new engine deal with Renault, that will begin in 2018.
โIt's fantastic to be able to continue my relationship with everybody at McLaren. It was always where my heart was telling me to stay, and I really feel at home here. This is a fantastic team, full of incredible people, with a warmth and friendliness that I've never experienced elsewhere in Formula 1. I'm incredibly happy to be racing here,โ he said. โJust as important, McLaren has the technical resource and financial strength to be able to very quickly win races and world championships in F1.โ
โAlthough the last few years have not been easy, we have never forgotten how to win, and I believe we can achieve that again soon. The last three years have given us the momentum to plan and build for the future, and I'm looking forward to that journey. I'm excited for our future together โ and I'm already working hard to make it a success.โ
