Honda, Hasegawa: “Alonso is not happy, but he has accepted this great challenge”

Yusuke Hasegawa, head of Honda, spoke about the relationship between McLaren and Fernando Alonso, admitting that the driver is obviously not satisfied with the situation, but that he accepted the difficult challenge with enthusiasm. Just in recent days Fernando has sworn loyalty to the McLaren Honda project, reiterating his utmost commitment to bringing the title back to Woking and definitively dismissing the rumors about his move to Mercedes.

“Fernando is not happy, but he agrees that this is a very fascinating challenge - Hasegawa's words released to the Hispanic portal SoyMotor – He likes to think that he can contribute to the growth of the team and make it increasingly competitive. He's not happy with McLaren's current situation, but he knows that this is a good challenge and he knows how important 2017 is. We have to make him feel in the right place so we can convince him to stay with us for a long time."
