Light on Alonso's future: “I won't drive a car with a Mercedes engine”

The future continues to be uncertain and at the same time, there have been no official communications from Fernando Alonso or Ferrari. It is not yet clear whether or not the Spaniard will leave the Prancing Horse at the end of the season after 5 years of marriage which everyone hoped could bring much more. In the last months the rumors were wasted on the question: first they wanted Alonso in McLaren-Honda, then in Mercedes, then in Red Bull, in Lotus and finally, that window on Ferrari still remains open. After the Russian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso himself made some statements which in a certain sense he did a little light about his situation. Many have attributed the possibility of a move to Stuttgart, in case Hamilton does not win the world championship and decides to move on, yet Mercedes will not be the team that will host the Spaniard.

After the Sochi race, on NBC, Fernando Alonso declared that next year for sure he will not race with a car powered by a Mercedes engine. In light of this, in addition to the home of the Three-Pointed Stars, Lotus will inevitably also be eliminated. The only doors that remain open, other than the sabbatical, are the possibility of ending up at McLaren-Honda, or, surprisingly, staying at Ferrari. Precisely in this regard, the Spaniard recalled that there has not yet been any official confirmation regarding his farewell to the Prancing Horse: “Neither Ferrari nor I have ever said that my contract with the Rossa has come to an end. Until now this is just a rumor“, He concluded.
