Alonso speaks out

Here follows the statement from Fernando Alonso, the youngest Formula One Champion in history, following his decision to change teams at the end of 2006. Fernando Alonso will drive for the McLaren Mercedes team in 2007.

Fernando Alonso “As everybody will now be aware, I have taken the decision to leave Renault after the 2006 season. I achieved my lifetime ambition with Renault this year, and for my career, I felt that it was time for a new challenge. That will be to try and win with another team. At this point in time, though, I am concentrating on 2006. Renault brought me into Formula 1, brought me my first title, and I will be working to repeat that success next year. The signs so far are very positive on every level. I am confident the chassis will be quick, and the engine team are doing a fantastic job on the new V8. I am looking forward to a very successful 2006 season.”
