Fernando Alonso insists the lack of a competitive car is not the reason he is leaving Formula One at the end of the year.
Alonso announced his decision to walk away from the sport at the end of 2018 in August after enduring a third consecutive season in an off-the-pace McLaren. His options to move to a more competitive team appeared limited at the time, but he insists he was offered a drive by Red Bull for 2019.
