In  a rather outburst of emotions from the double world champion Fernando Alonso, he has openly threatened McLaren to pick between either him or Honda post Bahrain. This move comes as a rather shock considering Alonso’s stubbornness to show faith in his team but is totally understandable after his former team, Ferrari won the first race of the season.

Speaking at a press conference Alonso said, “The situation is comical and embarrassing to say the least. Not only I am embarrassed on the track but the lack of Honda’s ability to finish the race is further amusing. I have been pretty patient with Honda McLaren but not anymore. After Bahrain, either Honda stays or Fernando Alonso stays.”

The speculations gave rise to Jenson Button’s return as a possible driver for McLaren Honda but the Briton could hardly care enough to reply about the same.

And meanwhile if you still haven’t got it, this is our witty attempt at playing an April Fool’s prank with you. Fernando Alonso will continue serving his life sentence at McLaren Honda hoping to finish races or probably score a point here and there. Meanwhile all we can hope for is that the situation somehow becomes better for the Spaniard and we are able to see him climb the podium once again.
