He knows he has an opportunity to show what he can...

They are people making quick judgments, not looking at the facts. In his one year, they became so and probably not because of the plans they allegedly stole from the company. It is hard to imagine the powers that be at Honda will keep funding such an embarrassment for much longer. If he cannot, McLaren could fall back. Last year we saw a team (Ferrari) win nine races and not win the title.

Equally, I have a great opportunity to progress my own career. Ferrari and other teams have already threatened to leave if a standardized engine is mandated. In fact, they team just lost a big sponsor in Royal Bank of Scotland, which has fallen in the banking crisis. It is very difficult to win the Formula 1 championship.

Alonso isn't just a quick driver, he is very good in communicating with the team which is very important. Klien has 46 Grand Prix under his belt for Jaguar Racing and Red Bull, but was dropped by the latter at the end of this season. Red Bull Racing's new driver Mark Webber revealed the new car will be running for the first time in the middle of January. For me, there is a great motivation in beginning a new era without Fernando, and proving that the strength of Renault is about more than one person.
