McLaren team boss Zak Brown has assured that if he were in Renault he would not hesitate to sign the Spanish driver Fernando Alonso to race in Formula 1 next season, something he sees as an "obvious" decision , although he sees the Asturian " undecided "with his future.

"I spoke to him the other day, I was snooping around, and I think he is undecided . If I was in Renault, I am clear that I would put him in the car. He is a great name, fast as nobody. He won two championships with them, so he has History. From Renault's perspective, I think it's pretty obvious who to put, "he said on Sky Sports F1.

Renault has a free seat for 2021, after it was confirmed that Australian Daniel Ricciardo will race with McLaren , taking the place of Spanish Carlos Sainz, who will sign with Ferrari. "If Fernando wants to return to 22 races, with a car that does not seem capable of winning yet ... I think that given the size of Fernando, what would lead him to return would be to believe that he may be at the top of the podium," he said. .

"Given that they are in a similar situation to McLaren, back upstairs, and I think they will arrive, they are a great team, with excellent resources, a great company that has done it before. I don't know if Fernando has the appetite to face a three-year trip, "he said.

On the other hand, he spoke of the situation of the German Sebastian Vettel , who this week confirmed that he would not continue at Ferrari. "I don't know what will happen to Seb. Like Fernando, if you want to get into a car and go win the championship right away, there don't seem to be any seats available," he stressed.

"I think he still wants to run. It will be unfortunate if you have a four-time world champion who wants to run but can't find that seat he deserves."
