Zoom Alonso not ready to reveal his plans for 2009

Fernando Alonso was irritated in Singapore when reporters asked him about new rumours that he might drive for Ferrari in 2010 or 2011.

"It would be a mistake to talk about those things all day," the Renault driver is quoted as saying by the news agency EFE.

Despite Kimi Raikkonen's recently announced contract renewal through 2010, it was reported last week that the Spanish bank Santander could be set to switch to Ferrari and then buy-out the Finn's contract to make room for former champion Alonso.

Alonso replied: "When I make a decision, about staying at Renault or changing teams, there will be an official statement so that the whole world knows at the same time."

The 27-year-old complained about publications that ‘always’ report unfounded rumours.

"It was said at Monza that I was going to be with BMW for three years, and two or three days later it is being said that I am with Ferrari again," Alonso said.

To Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, meanwhile, he commented: "My priority is Renault. It is now up to them to demonstrate whether they are still the team with who I twice won the title."
