McLaren executive director Zak Brown has said that he's currently not worried about Fernando Alonso potentially leaving the team, even though the rumours of Alonso making a comeback to Ferrari grow stronger as time goes on.

Alonso has been doing racing in other categories more and more in the past few years, as he seemingly likes to do other things more than F1.

However, Alonso has been performing very well for McLaren this season, finishing in the points every race so far, something that can't be said about his teammate Stoffel Vandoorne.

There are rumours that Alonso will be making the switch to Ferrari after this year to take Kimi Raikkonen's seat, but Brown isn't worried about that yet.

"We're in the same position as most other teams," the American said.

"We're reviewing our options, both within the team and outside of it, so we have two good drivers.

"I expect that it will take up until the summer break before we have more clarity from Fernando about what he wants from the future."
