Formula One: Alonso gives McLaren chance to make him a winner

Fernando Alonso on Thursday said he’d give McLaren a chance to settle their plans before making a decision about his future — but warned that he wouldn’t stick around in a losing car. The frustrated two-time world champion has been making noises all season about quitting the British team, who are widely expected to dump their misfiring Honda engines and go with Renault instead. Alonso’s car has failed to complete six races this season, and his best finish so far is sixth. He said he had “many options” both inside and outside of Formula One, but added that “very good news is coming”. “Whatever I do next year is because I want to win. I will not be around in any series to be fighting for top 10 or top 15,” he told reporters ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. “There are many options out there that I’m looking at. Formula One is my first and only priority so I will wait to make a decision on that before making decisions on other series. “At the same time I want to give time to my team. After the last three years, the struggles we went through together, to have time for them to make decisions, to see the future, next year’s car. And after they take decisions I will take mine.” Alonso’s comments appear to hint that he will stay at McLaren next year if they axe Honda, which is strongly rumoured to happen before Sunday’s race. Alonso, 36, is one of the oldest drivers on the grid, and he also hankers after becoming only the second man after Graham Hill to complete motorsport’s Triple Crown — winning the Monaco Grand Prix, Indy 500 and Le Mans. – ‘Game of chess’ – Alonso last year skipped Monaco to race the Indy 500 but he seemed hopeful that he would contest the famous street grand prix next season. “If I remain in Formula One it is because I can believe that I can win next year. So that will make the decision a lot easier because I will be in Monaco because I won’t want to lose any points,” he said. “The priority is Formula One… and the Triple Crown is in the background. I’m waiting for my current team to make their decisions and after that, to negotiate.” He added: “For my fans and for motorsport lovers, they will have a fantastic 2018 season. The plan is ongoing and very good news is coming.” Alonso last month denied telling McLaren he’d quit if they don’t ditch Honda. Multiple reports say Honda will open a partnership with Toro Rosso, whose driver Carlos Sainz is tipped to join Renault as part of the deal. Sainz said he couldn’t comment on the rumours but he added: “My ambition is to try and be a world champion one day. Whatever path there is, I will take the shortest path.” World championship leader Lewis Hamilton, who has won two of his three drivers’ titles since leaving McLaren for Mercedes in 2013, said: “Formula One is like a game of chess. “It’s really about picking your moves at the right time and hopefully you have enough options.”

Ongoing Russia investigation gets closer to president (Editorial)

What's the one sentence that White House aides least want to hear? "I've got Bob Mueller on the phone for you." Mueller, of course, is the special counsel who was named to investigate Russian meddling in last year's presidential election, possible links between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and those efforts, and related matters. Last week, it was reported that Mueller has been looking to interview some who have been very close to the president, including former chief of staff Reince Priebus, ex-press secretary Sean Spicer, and communications director Hope Hicks. All had been close to, or were part of, discussions relating to people and matters of interest in the Russia probe. Mueller, a former head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is interested in folks who were awfully close to President Donald Trump at important moments. To name but three: The firing in May of James Comey, then the FBI director, who'd been heading the probe of Russian meddling. The failure to do anything, at least initially, after it was learned that then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn hadn't told the truth about his pre-inauguration discussions with Sergey Kislyak, who was then Russia's ambassador to the United States. The response to news that Donald Trump Jr. had set up a meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer who'd promised to deliver information that would damage the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. The younger Trump went into the meeting having been told that the details were part of a Kremlin-backed operation to help Trump become president. If Spicer, Priebus and Hicks are able to provide Mueller's investigators with details about the president's discussions regarding these matters, and others of interest, they may well be that much closer to building a case against Trump, possibly for obstruction of justice. And along the way, they may be assembling a more complete picture about the various ways that Russia meddled in last year's election. And who was endeavoring to assist with those efforts. The White House has also been told that Mueller's team will likely seek to interview White House counsel Don McGahn and one of his deputies, James Burnham. Also on the list of possible interviewees is Josh Raffel, a White House spokesman who has worked with Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law who is a key trusted adviser. As details of Mueller's probe leak out, bit by juicy bit, one is left to wonder what's next. Will Trump's family members soon enough be interviewed? How about the president himself? It's important to remember that some of the facts in the case are indisputably clear. Russia sought to influence the outcome of our presidential election. Of that there's no doubt. Some in Trump's campaign were in contact with Russian operatives. That, too, is known. What's still a question is how deep those connections go and how broad was their influence. Those hoping to learn the truth can only hope that the upcoming interviews are revelatory.
