Alonso is yet to announce his decision on whether he will race for Aston Martin during the upcoming Formula 1 season. In an exclusive article, GPblog previously reported that the Spaniard had indeed made a decision about his future and that his partnership with Aston Martin would "simply" be extended, with an announcement expected during the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, which will take place in two weeks' time.

Speaking about his next step, the Spaniard told this website, among others, in Monza: "It's not really about the car. I am and I will be professional and working at my 100% fighting for P15 or fighting for a podium. But for me, it's more about the regulations. Unfortunately, this is what it is.

Motivation for Alonso is not an issue. "I think until I'm 80 or 90, [I will be motivated]," he laughed.

Aston Martin's Chief Trackside Officer, Mike Krack, was also asked about Alonso's future in Italy. The Luxemburger said: "Well, the season starts in March, I think, so we have plenty of time, don't we? You start to be impatient.
