New team, same ambitions for champion Alonso

WORLD champion Fernando Alonso is confident his switch from Renault to McLaren will enable him to pursue a third successive championship title.

The 25-year-old is part of a new-look McLaren team alongside hot British prospect Lewis Hamilton, and much is expected of the new MP4-22 car.

And, ahead of the opening race of the season in Australia this weekend, Alonso admits he feels at home with his new team.
