2) Alonso feels confident at McLaren future
The wait of Fernando Alonso's future in the sport finally ended earlier this week as the double world champion signed a new contract to stay with McLaren in 2018 with options of an extension.

The Spaniard also said in an interview he wants to retire at McLaren: "I would be extremely happy to finish my career in McLaren. I don't think it's going to be one year," said Alonso.
Many fans of the sport will be relieved to learn Alonso is staying but many will hope 2018 will help forget the last three seasons with Honda's partnership with McLaren.
Alonso would not have just signed an extension with McLaren just for his F1 existence to continue but with Renault becoming the team's new engine supplier from next year it looks to be a project Alonso wants to be a part of.
In 2005 and 2006 Alonso won both his drivers' championship for the Renault team and as a kid dreamed of one day driving for McLaren. The partnership of McLaren and Renault in 2018 is Alonso's dream he could not say no to.
