Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso extends contract with Alpine

OXFORDSHIRE: Two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso has extended his contract with Alpine team into the 2022 season, confirmed the team on Thursday.

Alonso, who won world champion titles with Renault in 2005 and 2006, returned to the race after a two-year break from this season with the rebranded Alpine team.

He had hinted at "big news" earlier this week ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday. The new deal will keep him together with the newest race winner in Formula 1, Esteban Ocon, who earlier signed a three-year extension contract with Alpine. IANS
