Alonso Says his Future Lies with Renault

Spaniard Fernando Alonso says his Formula One future lies with Renault after making history with the French team last season.

"I have a long-term relationship with this team and right now, there is nothing that would make me want to look elsewhere," said the 22-year-old as Renault unveiled their 2004 car on Thursday.

"Renault is like my extended family. We are at the beginning of a fantastic experience and I can't wait for the rewards of hard work. We want to be fighting for the title in 2005," he added in a team statement.

Alonso celebrated his first victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix last August, lapping Ferrari's World Champion Michael Schumacher and becoming the youngest driver to win a Formula One race.

The Spaniard, who starts his third full season in Formula One after making his debut with Minardi in 2001, also became the youngest driver to start a race on pole position in Malaysia last March.

He ended the season sixth overall with four podiums, including second in his home Grand Prix.
