Alonso: We lacked ambition

McLaren driver Fernando Alonso is retiring at the end of the season and the Spanish driver believes his McLaren side were lacking ambition at the Russian Grand Prix.

Alonso was battling with 14th placed Lance Stroll at a point in Sochi, with advice coming from the McLaren team radio and Alonso replying: "We are P15. I don't care."

In the late stages of the race, the McLaren driver wanted to pit for new tyres to have a go at the fastest lap - but the Woking-based side refused to pit the Spaniard.

Alonso, unsurprisingly, wasn't happy with the decision from his team: "When you are P14/15, it is good for the team, good for the guys working flat out every day, good for the sponsors and partners. But we were lacking ambition.
