SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Fernando Alonso has no doubt Honda is working flatout to resolve its issues, but says it is still too early to predict whether the Japanese manufacturer will produce a winning engine in time for the the start of next year.
Alonso is now in the third year of his McLaren return, but another slow start to the season for engine supplier Honda has left him off the pace with just ten points from ten races. His current contract is due to expire at the end of this year and is expected to make a decision on his future in the coming month.
