Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso could be one of the new drivers of Formula One team Renault, as the team will reportedly change its drivers for next season.

Fernando Alonso's stormy year with McLaren came to a shuddering halt with the announcement that the Spaniard was tearing up his contract.

Late Thursday, McLaren was fined US$100 million (EUR 72 million) and kicked out of the constructors' championship in the F1 spy scandal - but its drivers escaped any punishment and can continue to chase the more prestigious Formula One drivers' title.

It was a Hungarian Grand Prix that brought vindication for Lewis Hamilton and headaches for his McLaren team. Hamilton rebounded from an increasingly tense relationship with teammate and world champion Fernando Alonso and his boss Ron Dennis to earn his third victory of the Formula One season.

Double world champion Fernando Alonso seized pole position from McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the final qualifying session at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budepest on Saturday.

Fernando Alonso can overtake teammate Lewis Hamilton in the season standings while their McLaren team takes its off-circuit feud with Ferrari back onto the track for the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend.

After winning in Asia in April and Europe in May, Fernando Alonso now looks to win in North America in June. The Formula One series shifts to North America with the Canadian GP on June 10, followed by the United States GP. Between the both, Alonso has one just one time, the Canadian GP last year, despite winning the season title the last two years.

The way this Formula One season is shaping up, Lewis Hamilton - not Fernando Alonso - could be the first McLaren world champion since Mikka Hakkinen. Hamilton leads the drivers' championship standings with 30 points, two more than his teammate, two-time defending world champion Alonso.

Fernando Alonso arrives at the Spanish Grand Prix with a fight on his hands for the Formula One championship. The two-time defending champion will line up on the Circuit de Catalunya on Sunday atop the driver's standings, just as he did in 2006 when he easily won his home race for the first time with Renault.
