Alonso to take seat at McLaren

FERNANDO ALONSO wants to deliver another world championship to Renault as a parting gift after sealing his “dream” move to McLaren for 2007.

The Spaniard will defend his title next season at Renault before moving to McLaren in a surprise move which was announced yesterday, over a year in advance.

Alonso’s decision has raised questions over Renault’s long-term commitment to Formula One, but the 24-year-old wants to leave on successful terms with another championship.
