It’s unlikely Fernando Alonso will take a sabbatical next season, ruling out one of the potential career paths the Spaniard could take in 2015.
The Ferrari driver is set to leave the Italian marque at the end of the season and has been linked with numerous teams as well as taking a year out to ensure he’s in the best possible place to secure a competitive seat for 2016.
The latter is unlikely according to Alonso though who says his choice will make sense when it’s finally revealed.
“Probably not a big risk,” he said when asked if he could be without a seat.
“As I said in Suzuka, I understand the curiosity and the fans wanting news, but do not worry. Relax, enjoy and when it is time to know it you will know it.
“My mind has been set for the last two or three months. When you know you will understand that probably it was very obvious what I will do.”
The two-time champion also looks to have ruled out Lotus as a potential destination after admitting his 2015 car will “probably not” be powered by Mercedes.
