Fernando Alonso reveals Ferrari negotiations

Fernando Alonso reveals that he wants to end his Formula 1 career with Ferrari and that talks over an extension to his contract with the Italian team are underway.

Fernando Alonso has insisted that he wants to end his Formula 1 career at Ferrari amid talks questioning his future with the team following Kimi Raikkonen's arrival.

The Finn has been signed to drive alongside Alonso for the 2013-14 campaign, which will be the first year that two former world champions have driven for the Maranello outfit in six decades.

McLaren have admitted that they are interested in signing 32-year-old Alonso, who has stressed that he wants to remain at Ferrari beyond the three years remaining on his current contract.

"We are working very closely on arriving at that situation because I hope to end my career in Formula One with Ferrari," he told The Observer.

"To sit together and to try to do it, that's my desire, and the team has expressed to me more or less the same desire when we talk about this. That will be a good thing to achieve.

"There have been people racing until 38, 39, with no problems. Mark [Webber] is one of the examples, he has been very competitive, and Michael [Schumacher] also came back at a good age. So 35 is still a good age, so if I keep the motivation and enjoying the sport, like I'm doing now, when the time arrives we will see."

The Spaniard only managed to place seventh on the grid in qualifying for the Singapore Grand where the leader of the Drivers' Standings, Sebastian Vettel, will begin on pole.
