Fernando Alonso didn't exactly talk down the rumours linking him to Ferrari and even talked about his option to leave the Renault team.
"I'm at Renault because I wanted to get back to winning, like in 2005 and 2006, if not this year then next year," Alonso told Spanish newspaper As.
"But I have an option to leave so I can be in the best possible car, and it is clear Ferrari is one of the best."
Fernando then went on to say it was to early to think about a move
"It's early to talk about moves and rumours, but Massa has had two bad races with mistakes and that has kicked off speculation," Alonso said.
"It's logical, but it's too early."

Quote:Ferrari, Renault, deny Alonso-Massa rumours
Massa and Raikkonen firmly under contract
26/03/08 09:19
It remains to be seen how long Alonso will
stick around with Renault
A Ferrari spokesman has plainly dismissed rumours that a deal is already in place to put Fernando Alonso alongside Kimi Raikkonen at the Italian team in 2009.
"There is no arrangement at all with Fernando and Ferrari," he is quoted as saying by The Times.
"We have two drivers already contracted for next year - Mr Kimi Raikkonen and Mr Felipe Massa."
Renault boss Flavio Briatore would also not be drawn on the speculation, despite his driver, Alonso, claiming that the rumours linking himself and Sebastian Vettel with Massa's seat were ‘logical’.
Briatore, though, said it is a "waste of time to get involved in hypothetical daydreams," according to the news agency AP.
"Fernando is a great sportsman who will always give his best, and rumours I never comment on," he added.

well if any1 wants 2 learn how 2 bash your own team, then nando is ur man.
i have never ever qquestioned his driving abilty, 1 of the best in f1 today, but the guy is also the most selfish driver ever, reno have bent over backwards 4 him and only after 2 races he is complaining, instead of motviating the team and helping then move forward.
nando wants everything on a silver platter, but he forgets that u have 2 work ur ass of 4 that., no driver can have a title winning car every single yr of their career, take ms 4 example they guy moved 2 ferrari 2 bring that team back 2 the top, it took them 4 yrs b4 they could do that, but he stuck with them and all that hard work paid of, 5 in row.

Quote:Alonso not frustrated by Renault form
"As long as you approach the grand prix knowing that (the car is not quick enough) and you have no surprises, then it is not frustrating," he explained.
"It is something I knew from the winter testing. We are not at the level of the top teams, so we need to keep improving.
"It is not the time to give up. It is the time to work even harder than the others, and try to recover the gap. So let's see in the coming races, in the coming months, if we can do a good job with the car and make it more competitive."
