McLaren may want a reunion with Fernando Alonso, but the Spaniard has no intention of leaving Ferrari.
On a frantic Friday at the Singapore Grand Prix, McLaren chief Martin Whitmarsh announced he wanted to bring Alonso back to the team he drove for during the 2007 season.
When asked directly if he wanted to recruit Alonso, Whitmarsh responded: "Yes - any team would. He's the best driver."
"I don't know his contractual situation. I assume he's under contract."
But any hopes McLaren had of luring Alonso back were quickly quashed, with the two-time world champion declaring he saw his long-term future with Ferrari.
"I keep repeating every weekend -- and I don't know why I have to keep repeating -- I love Ferrari and I will stay in Ferrari until the end," the 32-year-old told Sky Sports News.
"It is nice to have the comments from the other team principals every year saying they respect my job and my professionalism -- especially McLaren as there were so many rumors that we had a lot of problems that year.
"But I always say that I had no problems with anyone, it was just the philosophy of the team or rather one man in the team that is no longer there.
