Fernando Alonso decides to stay at Renault

13 ottobre 2008

Back to back grand prix winner Fernando Alonso has indeed decided to stay at Renault for the 2009 season.

Germany's most widely circulated newspaper, Bild, reported on Sunday that the Spaniard is now convinced the French squad is a better option than Honda for next year.

Alonso, 27, capped his fortuitous Singapore grand prix victory with a commanding win in Japan, as title contenders Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa struck trouble.

Bild am Sonntag newspaper said Alonso is hedging his bets that, by seeing out his Renault contract, he will be best poised to switch to Ferrari should Kimi Raikkonen make an early exit -- a move that would please one of the Spaniard's biggest supporters, Emilio Botin, who is keen to move his Santander sponsorship from McLaren to Ferrari.

Even after winning at Fuji Speedway, however, Alonso is sticking with his promise to announce his plans only after next month's Brazilian grand prix.

"I said that I would make a decision after Brazil but it doesn't mean that I don't know what to do. I know what to do but I will announce it after Brazil," he said.
