Alonso happy to stay and fight for success with Renault


MANAMA, April 3: Double world champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso is happy to keep faith with Renault and help lead the team in their fight for future success.

The 26-year-old Spaniard made it clear on the eve of this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix that he plans to stay with Renault for the long-term and has no plan to leave in a hurry at the end of this year.

It had been widely rumoured that he may consider switching to Ferrari as replacement for struggling Brazilian Felipe Massa by taking advantage of a 'get out' clause in his contract.

But Alonso said, "I don't remember that clause. I signed for two years in Renault, but as we saw last year, contracts are always very flexible!"

Asked if there was a clause in his contract allowing him to leave the team early, Alonso replied, "No."

He explained, "At the moment, we have just started the championship. We are disappointed about our performance in the first two races, but it is not a time to give up.

"It is a time to keep working and then we will see at the end of the season where we are. From next year, there is a big change of rules. All this can change again the picture in F1. At the moment I am convinced that Renault and me can do a good job together", he said.

"When rules change dramatically it is like putting a coin in the air. Any team can have a good car and fight for the championship. I knew when I signed for Renault that the gap was too big to recover all this distance in one year. I knew that 2008 would be a difficult season and we needed to keep improving and be as close as we can to the top teams", he added.

"At the same time, you always have to hope that if you are not fighting for the championship, you will be on the podium, or win one race or whatever", he said.

"It seems at the moment, we are not in that position so it is a mix of feelings. It is time to work now and hopefully after Barcelona the improvements are good enough and we can fight to be closer to the podium."

He said he was not optimistic of any great improvement this weekend, but hoped to see things improve in the future.

"There is not a big problem in the car, just many little ones. Aerodynamically the car has to be better and more efficient. We will see what happens", he said.
