McLaren: Misunderstood Fernando Alonso is not hard to manage

Related Topics: McLaren

McLaren boss Eric Boullier has refuted claims that Fernando Alonso is a difficult driver to manage, insisting the two-time Formula One world champion is merely focussed on being successful.

The Spaniard's future at McLaren is uncertain, with his current contract at the Woking-based outfit set to expire at the end of this campaign. After three dismal years of struggles for McLaren and engine partner Honda, Alonso has said he will explore all his options as he bids to return to winning ways in F1. Earlier this year, Alonso stated he would remain at McLaren if the team can record its first grand prix victory since 2012 by September.
