Alonso on F1 return: "I would return if I wanted to"

Fernando Alonso has commented on a potential return to Formula 1, saying that he would come back to the sport "if he wanted to".

There has been a huge amount of speculation surrounding the future of the two-time Formula 1 World Champion, including his links with McLaren reportedly ending.

Despite the rumours, Alonso seemed to deny them with a cryptic tweet on Saturday and recently told Spanish media that a return to the sport would solely be down to if he wanted it or not.

"I would return if I wanted to," he is quoted by Marca.

Alonso also commented on the current landscape of F1, adding that he didn't miss F1.

"Not really. Of course I watch all the races and it's more of the same," he said.

"But Mercedes are first, Ferrari second and Red Bull third, which we have seen for many, many years. Formula 1 is a championship that is about the performance of the car."
