Alonso won't keep his patience if things won't change at Renault

Fernando has said that he won't keep his patience forever at the Renault Formula 1 team. Even though the Spaniard is glad to return to Renault he does feel the team needs to improve the car in order to stay happy at the team.

Speaking to Spanish radio station SER Alonso said: "Sure, I can be patient, but for long? No, not really. Last year I was in fourth position around the end of the season behind the Ferrari drivers and Lewis Hamilton. In Australia I was fourth again so at the moment my position hasn't changed yet. Sure, it will be a long season for our team, but if our team won't improve I will run out of patience.

"The only thing we can do right now is work hard and give 100% to improve ourselves. There is still a lot of potential to improve the car. We are still eight tenths of a second behind on the top teams and during the races even a second but we have to be realise that we're only working on this car for just two months. We know what we can improve and that is mainly our aerodynamics and brakes."
