McLaren Formula 1 racing director Eric Boullier believes it is evident that Fernando Alonso wants to remain with the team for the 2018 season as the Spaniard continues to mull over his future.
McLaren executive director Zak Brown is confident keeping Fernando Alonso with its Formula 1 project for 2018, but has a 'plan B' in place should the Spaniard reject a new deal.
Fernando Alonso wants to give McLaren the chance to firm up its Formula 1 engine plans before making any decision about his own future, wishing to show loyalty to the team after three difficult years.
Fernando Alonso says that McLaren's call on a Formula 1 engine supplier for 2018 "won't be the most important thing" when it comes to deciding his own future.
Fernando Alonso claims he has already rejected 60 per cent of offers he has received for a 2018 drive, with the remaining 40 per cent “still on the table” as he considers his future with McLaren in Formula 1.
