SHANGHAI, China - Two-times champion Fernando Alonso, now 33, says he expects to end his Formula 1 career with McLaren, confirming that the team he joined from Ferrari at the end of 2014 would likely be his last.

Alonso made his debut as a 19-year-old with Minardi in 2001. Since then he's won 32 of 236; 2015 is 14th in the sport, excluding the year he spent on the sidelines as a test driver for Renault.

"I think after 15 or 16 or 17 years in Formula 1, whatever it will be, it's enough," Alonso told reporters at the Shanghai International Circuit ahead of the 2015 Chinese GP on Sunday (April 12).
