ALONSO CONFIRMED AT McLAREN FOR 2018
Fernando Alonso has been confirmed at McLaren for the 2018 season after signing a new contract with the Woking-based team.
McLaren will finally end their Honda engine partnership and switch over to Renault power next season in hopes of improving their overall performance and results in the sport.
Alonso has dealt with many mechanical woes and endured over 100 Grid Penalties combined this year alone. Same can be said for his younger Belgian team-mate, Stoffel Vandoorne, who was confirmed at McLaren for the 2018 season as well, just a few months ago.
Alonso's best result this season came at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he finished in 6th. His best result since joining McLaren is 5th, which he placed twice: The first time in the 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix and then again at the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix.
The two-time F1 world Champion will also compete in the 2018 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, where he will race for United Autosports. He will drive alongside Phil Hanson and 17-year-old Lando Norris.
