Fernando Alonso will become a shareholder in McLaren, according to reports in Spain. Soymotor has reported that Alonso's investment in McLaren Racing will be made public in 2019 as the famous team look to add IndyCar success and more to their rich Formula 1 history.


McLaren targets championship within next five years

When asked when he anticipated McLaren would be back at the front of the grid, he said: "I have just presented a five-year plan, and within that plan, we think we have a journey to get back to winning races, and then once you're winning races, you're competing for the championship.

"We have laid out a journey and investment, a road to recovery that sees us getting back to the front of the grid in that timeline."

Honda 2019 engine showing problems: "Vibrations at high velocity"

Red Bull Racing's new engine partner Honda have reportedly parted ways with AVL, the world's largest independent company for the development, simulation and testing of drive systems, as the Japanese power unit started having severe vibrations at high speeds, Auto Bild Motorsport reports.

Helmut Marko told Auto Bild that there are still vibrations in the engines sometimes that need to be sorted, vibrations that even hired expert Mario Illien (formerly in charge of Mercedes engines in F1) couldn't get rid of. This means that even though the engine has more power than Renault's, it can't retrieve all of that power right now. Still, Marko remains confident it will get resolved.

"To find a solution, the right precautions have been taken already," the 75-year-old explained."2019 will be a better year for us."

Binotto to replace Arrivabene as Ferrari F1 team boss

Αντι να διωξουν το Vettel, τους ηταν πιο ευκολο να διωξουν το μπριγιαντινακια. Λογικα δικαιουται και ο καινουργιος 1 χρονο προσαρμογης, οποτε ελπιζουν παλι για τιτλο απο το 2020 (οχι πως θα τον παρουν κιολας)

Massimo Rivola, the former head of Ferrari's Driver Academy, is confident Charles Leclerc will be given a fair chance to win at the Scuderia this season.

After an impressive maiden season in F1 with Sauber, Leclerc was chosen to replace Kimi Raikkonen at Maranello and race alongside Sebastian Vettel in 2019.

Many view the line-up as a redoubtable association but also a potential source of disruption for Vettel given the high expectations surrounding Leclerc.

Rivola was at the helm of Ferrari's Driver Academy from 2016 to the end of last year, having since joined the Aprilia MotoGP squad, but the Italian oversaw Leclerc's progression and his move to a race seat with the Scuderia.

"I believe and hope that Ferrari will give both the same opportunities, and that the best will prevail," Rivola told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"There is no doubt that 2019 is considered an apprenticeship for Charles, but you can be sure that he will try to win right away."

Assessing Leclercl's talent, Riviola believes the 21-year-old Monegasque is more like a young Fernando Alonso than Vettel.

"I had the opportunity to work with Sebastian when he debuted in Toro Rosso, and with Alonso in his debut season in Minardi," said Rivola.

"It is Fernando with the same anger as Charles in qualifying, and the same ability to always show amazing results," he added.

Alonso: Move to McLaren in 2015 seen as 'mega decision' at the time

Fernando Alonso reiterated his feelings about not regretting his choice to join McLaren-Honda in 2015, insisting the move was viewed at the time by most in the F1 paddock as a "mega decision".

"I think in F1 there is always one winner, and all the others are not winning," he said.

"I’ve been unlucky in some of the races, but without a crystal ball, it’s difficult to make decision.

"After you finish your chapter, it’s easy to say. But when I joined Ferrari in 2010, I think 10 of 10 [drivers] would have gone in that direction.

"When I joined McLaren-Honda in 2015, all 2014, I’d been hearing that it was a very good decision, because the turbo engine from Ferrari was not good.

"McLaren and Honda had one year of development for free as they were not racing (together) in 2014, and that was a mega decision.

"I’d been hearing good things, and I think nine out of 10 [drivers] would have gone in that direction."

Alonso refuses to harbor regrets about the past, and points to a few of his colleagues with track records that don't necessarily tell the true story of their career.

"I think I don’t regret many things, I’m happy with the decisions," said the 37-year-old who hasn't completely closed the door on F1.

"Only one is happy here, which is Lewis Hamilton. To be second, seventh or 12th, it’s the same.

"I won two championships, 97 podiums and I have mates with a lot of talent, like Nico Hulkenberg, with zero podiums; Sebastian [Vettel], a lot of years now not winning; Verstappen, zero titles; Ricciardo, great talent, zero titles.

"They are all unlucky probably, but it’s the way of the sport and F1. With all those things coming from the north of Spain, go-karting, two times world champion – no regrets on anything."
