Indianapolis, Oct 01: Team Renault heard about the rumour that Fernando Alonso might go to Ferrari in 2005 or 2006. For Flavio Briatore, the problem is very simple: "We are talking about a situation that doesn't exist," said Flavio. "Alonso is under contract with Renault until the end of 2006 and we have no intentions of letting him go before that."

The president of Renault, Louis Schweitzer, confirms what Briatore said: "We count on Alonso for the future. We want to win the championship with him. It will be unacceptable if we don't allow Fernando to fight for the championship as soon as next year."
