Fernando Alonso has again left his fans playing a guessing game over his future.
Although it is widely understood Ferrari star Alonso has already finalised plans for 2015 and beyond, at present he is refusing to divulge.
The belief is Alonso has already agreed terms with McLaren and all that remains for him to return to the team he left under a cloud at the end of 2007 is his signature on the contract. For now, Alonso continues to tease the media, delivering smiles at the end of the majority of their probing questions
Asked initially as to whether he knew what he would be doing in 2015, Alonso replied: “I know, yes. I more or less know.”
As to whether he will categorically be in F1, Alonso said: “I cannot say categorically anything now. There is a very ambitious plan in my head for my future and I think this is the best thing for Ferrari as well, and if that happens then people will be very, very excited – as I am.
“I am extremely happy all the things (that have happened) in the last two or three months have followed exactly the plan I had.”
There was one question that did make him bristle, although it was clever as it was one outside the box, as he was asked when he had decided not to continue with Ferrari.
Everybody believes Sebastian Vettel is replacing Alonso, yet neither Vettel, Alonso nor Ferrari have confirmed as such, only the fact the German is leaving Red Bull.
In a taught response, Alonso said: “I didn’t say that. You are saying one thing you don’t know. As I said in Suzuka, I will do the best I think is for the future, and the best things for the future of Ferrari.”
