Fernando Alonso did not disclose anything concerning his or McLaren’s future for 2018 and beyond.

“Not much”, was his answer to the question if there is any news of him and is he happy with the direction things are going with McLaren. The Spaniard was in Thursday’s press conference in Singapore.

Alonso: “As I said, I will think what is the best option and as I have said many times, whatever I do next year is because I want to win”

“I will not be around in any series to be fighting for top 10 or top 15, nothing like that. There are many options out there that I am studying, that I’m looking at. As I said, Formula One is my first and only priority and I will wait and make a decision on that before making decisions on other series. And at the same time, I want to give time to my team, after the last three years, with some struggles we went through together, to have time for them to make decisions, to see the future, next year’s car and after they take their decisions I will take mine. I want to stay loyal at least to that and not make any decisions without them making first their decision. So relaxed, happy and we’ll see what’s going on in the next weeks.”

“The triple-crown is a clear target for me in the future and there are three races there, so if one of those, the Indy 500 is together with Monaco, as we know, there is another one still to complete”

“So triple-crown is still on going at the maximum speed but yeah, I agree the same thing that Zak [Brown] said: if I remain in Formula One it’s because I believe I can win next year. So, that will ease the decision a lot because I will be in Monaco because I don’t want to lose any points there. Priority if Formula One, as I said before, and winning here, and triple crown is in the background. As I said, there are three races, not only Indy. So, there are many possibilities to do a fantastic 2018.
