McLaren exit leaves bitter taste for former star Alonso

FERNANDO ALONSO has taken a swipe at former employers McLaren and clearly still harbours a degree of bitterness towards the team.

Alonso feels if he had remained at McLaren, his life would have been a miserable one, fearing he would be driving with little support and playing second fiddle to Lewis Hamilton.

Alonso and McLaren went their separate ways at the end of last season, a move instigated by what unfolded at the Hungarian Grand Prix a year ago.
