Fernando Alonso has taken to social media to settle some claims about his future after he gave mixed signals with regards to his commitment to the McLaren-Honda project.
The Spaniard compared his Honda powerunit to that of a GP2 engine over team radio during the Japanese Grand Prix, whilst also saying the situation was “embarrassing, very embarrassing”.
After the race the Spaniard was asked if he would be at McLaren next season, to which he replied: “I don’t know.”
However several hours after the race, Alonso took to Twitter to clear things up, saying he has a three-year deal with the team and that his F1 career will end at McLaren.
“Some things from today that seem not clear to everybody: Today was our third best result of the season! We keep working hard,” he wrote.
“When we are fighting in [a] group [it] is difficult, we all want to win, and sometimes [they] transmit the team radios, but it should be private chats.
“No one should have any doubt that I have three years with McLaren and my career in F1 will end with this team, hopefully winning everything.”
