McLaren has confirmed Fernando Alonso will remain at the team for the 2018 Formula One season.
Next season will mark Alonso's fourth consecutive season with the Woking squad -- having joined from Ferrari at the end of 2014. The Spaniard's second spell at McLaren has been largely unsuccessful having failed to finish on the podium once in the last three seasons.
McLaren's choice to move to Renault power, ending its current deal with Honda, ultimately proved to be the decisive factor in Alonso remaining with McLaren.
"It's fantastic to be able to continue my relationship with everybody at McLaren.
