Alonso could quit renault

3 months ago 26th Mar 16:45

Alonso, who returned to the team after a stormy year with McLaren, has had a disappointing start.

Alonso signed for Renault last winter, there was widespread speculation that he would only stay for one year.

And his comments seem to confirm suspicions that the Spaniard does indeed have a break clause in his contract that would allow him to leave after just one year.

But the Italian team already have world champion Kimi Raikkonen and team-mate Felipe Massa under contract for 2009.

Signing Alonso would involve finding a way to curtail Massa's contract, which runs until the end of 2010.

But Alonso cooled speculation linking him to Ferrari, saying it was inevitable following a poor start to the season by Massa, who has retired from both races following driver errors.

The 26-year-old has admitted after Renault's poor start to the season that he has no chance of battling with McLaren and Ferrari.
