Alonso eyes third world title in 2009
MADRID, Dec 3: Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso said he is aiming for a third world title with Renault in 2009, Spain’s sports newspaper Marca reported on Wednesday.
“Our only aim is to be champions,” he said. “The arrival of slick tyres is good for my driving and the new (technical) rules give us confidence to fight McLaren and Ferrari.” Alonso, who was world champion with Renault in 2005 and 2006, has concluded a largely disappointing year in which Renault failed to keep pace with McLaren and Ferrari.
But improvements in the car’s performance helped him record two wins late in the season.
