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