McLaren's Alonso could quit - Massa

MADRID, Spain - Fernando Alonso might decide to retire rather than keep struggling with McLaren-Honda.

That, at least, was the claim of the Spaniard's former Ferrari team mate Felipe Massa while speaking to UOL Esporte. He had been asked about Alonso's move from Ferrari just as the Italian team surged back to the front of the grid.

In contrast, 33-year-old Alonso is now helping to build up the new McLaren-Honda alliance, insisting that he is enjoying the process.
