It is well-known that Fernando Alonso is leaving the team.

When I started go-karting at the age of six, I always dreamt of becoming a Formula One driver.

I saw Lotus F1 racing as the best choice for me to progress my career, after considering several other options that were available to me.

I made a long-term commitment to Renault and I believe I have a good chance to drive races in 2007.

I managed to do another race distance today, which was good. The car handled well and I felt comfortable at the wheel again. We then had the problem with the wing that meant I had to stop running, but the main thing is that we will still be able to carry on running on Thursday.
