 McLaren have dismissed suggestions two-time champion
Fernando Alonso could leave if he is not successful with the Formula
One team.
"He has a straight three-year contract with us, with no options,"
McLaren boss Ron Dennis told the Formula One website.
"It's as simple as that. That's what we wanted to offer him, and
that's what he wanted to sign. I can't make it plainer than that, can
I?"
Alonso, 33, has returned to McLaren this season after leaving Ferrari
but has managed only a 12th and 11th finish so far in a team which
has struggled this year.
Neither Alonso nor team-mate Jenson Button have a point after four
races, with the F1 season now heading to the Spanish Grand Prix on
May 10.
Dennis said McLaren with new engine partner Honda were improving from
race to race and would at some point reap the benefits of their hard
work.
"Mark my words! We'll win together and, when we do so we'll do so
dominantly," he said.
McLaren are one of F1's most successful teams, with 12 drivers' world
championships and eight constructors' world championships, but the
last one was seven years ago with Lewis Hamilton as driver and
Mercedes as engine partner.
Dennis said the team "have a mountain to climb, but climbing it we
are and scale its summit we will."
He added: "We knew this season would be tough, but we're making
progress with every Grand Prix."
