Fresh from renewal peri 2018 with the McLaren, Fernando Alonso It was one of the protagonists of press conference of the US GP in Austin: “It was a long decision, it was taken calmly. In the summer I spoke with several teams, I evaluated a whole series of different projects with drivers not yet confirmed. Inside me I hope that McLaren had superior potential, but I had doubts about the power unit, about what to do in general in 2018. Now with Renault I'm optimistic, I'm excited to see what we'll do,” commented Fernando.

The Spaniard will remain in Formula 1 for at least another year, who knows if he will then undertake other challenges and other motorsport paths. Perhaps he will decide to stay in Formula 1: “Now I think it will be a much more competitive project, we have thought a lot about the PU, we know what Renault can do and McLaren is a top team. Of course, you can never promise anything. The last few years have not been easy, but we have never forgotten how to win and we believe we can do it again soon", continued Fer with a pink hat in mind, for all women affected by breast cancer.

Fernando Alonso, however, wanted to specify further to Sky Sports, revealing some background on his contract: “We didn't talk well about the contract clauses, but I think it's much more than a long-term partnership. I don't think it will just be a year"he concluded.
