Fernando Alonso: WEC success won't impact desire to win in Formula One

BARCELONA, Spain -- Fernando Alonso insists his recent World Endurance Championship victory -- and any success he might have at Le Mans -- will have no impact on his desire to return to the top step of a Formula One podium.

Alonso won his WEC debut for Toyota at the Six Hours of Spa ahead of his home race, which marks the five-year anniversary since his last F1 grand prix victory. The Spaniard has taken on a busy schedule in 2018 to combine his McLaren and Toyota duties together -- his next non-F1 race will be the famous Le Mans 24 Hours on June 16/17.
