"This year I had the opportunity to win the championship again, so from that point of view the switch was a good decision," Alonso told F1.com about his switch from Renault to McLaren at the start of 2007. "The team did a fantastic job to have a competitive car so I was able to fight until the last race and finished only one point behind the champion. So in that respect I think it has been a very positive season.
"Outside the car for sure we had some ups and downs, better moments and worse moments, but I think this happens in every job. I will remember this year for my four victories I had in important places, where I had not won before, like Monza, and Monaco again for a second time."
But Alonso does not want to look back forever. He will now focus on the upcoming 2008 season. "Hopefully for next year I've learnt some lessons and I'll try again," he said. "For every driver, when we lose a championship we start thinking about why we lost. But we lost, so there is nothing more we can do. It's history. The future is the place where you can change things - and the future already has begun. Looking back over my shoulder I feel quite comfortable."
