Alonso to stay at Renault?

As Ferrari announced it has extended its contract with Kimi Raikkonen for another two seasons it ended rumours where Formula 1 would see Fernando Alonso move to Ferrari within two years. Alonso now hints he could stay with the team that brought his two Formula 1 championship titles: Renault.

As the Formula One teams are getting their seats filled Fernando Alonso has yet to decided whether or not the Spaniard will continue to race for another season at Renault. Alonso is looking at his options but doesn't make it a major secret that there is a big chance he will stick with Renault for 2009. "I have to look for the best place to be next season," Alonso said. "Renault is my first option. I know the people and I know everything can go well here. Right now all the teams are very optimistic, but Renault has given me two winning cars and I think it is much easier to believe them (for being optimistic on 2009) than to believe the people at other F1 teams."
