Alonso surprised by Honda decision
Fernando Alonso, who had his first day back in the Renault car today since the Brazilian Grand Prix in October, declared that he was surprised by the decision of manufacturer Honda to withdraw from Formula One.
Alonso declared in the Jerez paddock: "It's a shame. It was a surprise for me and for most of the people in the paddock because Honda has been in Formula One for a long time and is one of the biggest teams in F1. But it was not an easy decision for them to make and hopefully no more teams make the same decision."
