Alonso wants to sign for 2018 before the US GP

The future of Fernando Alonso could be known in the coming weeks. The pilot McLaren has indicated that it would like to announce its program for the 2018 season before the US Grand Prix held on October 22 in Austin (Texas).

“We won’t have much time between Malaysia and Japan. I hope the situation will be clearer between Suzuka and Austin.", commented Fernando Alonso who will get back behind the wheel of his MCL32 in a week at Suzuka.

Fernando Alonso should extend his contract with McLaren, the Woking team having chosen to abandon its contract with Honda to take advantage of the Power Units of Renault next year.

“Money won’t be a problem. The question rests on our level of performance, insisted Fernando Alonso. I have always said that my priority concerns my chances of podium and victory. It's hard to know where I will be next year, but McLaren often manages to produce good cars. Even when they miss their goal like in 2009, they manage to recover and win races. »
