McLaren admit interest in Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso

By , Staff Reporter |
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh confirms that he wants to sign Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso.

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has admitted that he would welcome Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso to the team.

Questions over the Spaniard's future with the Italian Formula 1 outfit arose when Kimi Raikkonen was confirmed as his teammate for next season following Felipe Massa's departure.

When Whitmarsh was asked by BBC Sport if he wanted Alonso, the team principal said: "Yes, any team would. He's the best driver. I don't know his contractual situation. I assume he's under contract."

The double world champion drove for McLaren in 2007.
