Alonso to write a new chapter at McLaren
Print Edition
FERNANDO Alonso said he was ready to write a fresh chapter at McLaren as his new Formula One team unveiled its 2015 car yesterday at the start of a new era with engine partner Honda.
“My motivation could not be stronger for the new season,” said the double world champion, who has returned to McLaren from Ferrari, after the MP4-30 car was revealed in an online presentation.
“I’ve done a lot of training during the winter break, to reach my peak physical fitness, and I’ve been working hard in preparation for this new era of McLaren-Honda,” added the Spaniard in a team statement. “I’ve never felt better, or more ready for a new season.”
The new car appeared in a red, black and silver livery. There was still no sign of any title sponsor, with Honda branding appearing on the engine cover, and the team set no specific targets.
“We’re all focused on the challenge ahead, and I feel extremely honoured to be part of a relationship that has shared so much history together,” the Spaniard said.
“My aim is to help write a new chapter in the history of McLaren-Honda. We understand the effort and teamwork required to take McLaren-Honda back to where it should be, at the front of the grid, and all our energy as a team is focused on that goal.”
Teammate Jenson Button, the 2009 champion, said there was a “feeling of reignited optimism and positivity” around the factory. “There’s a huge challenge ahead of us to try to pull back the gap to our rivals, but we’re certainly up for it,” added the Briton.
