Let the legend return: that is our challenge. February 2015: On the eighth day of pre-season testing, and the fourth in Barcelona, Alonso suffered concussion after his MP4-30 car left the road at Turn Three of the Circuit de Catalunya and hit the track wall at around 90mph.

He returned for the Malaysia GP and said in the build-up that he had no regrets about leaving Ferrari, previously mentioning that his reason for moving was that his new team had a better chance of catching Mercedes in the future. In his first race back, however, both he and Button retired in the fragile MP4-30 while his rival Sebastian Vettel, his replacement at the Scuderia, claimed victory. May 2015: After more car troubles forced him to stop at his home race in Spain, McLaren and Alonso were optimistic that they could finally collect some points at a Monaco track that suited their package. Although McLaren finally got both cars into Q2, Alonso was forced to retire his car while a place behind his team-mate in ninth.June 2015: In what were the first sounds of frustration in 2015 from the two-time world champion, he responded to a request to save fuel at the Canadian GP by complaining that the team were in danger of looking like amateurs if they slowed what little pace they had.

Despite being forced to push his car back to the pits during qualifying amid more unreliability, Alonso took advantage of a chaotic race to finish a credible fifth for his team. Fernando Alonso admits some of his ribs are still cracked from his crash during the Australian Grand Prix, but wanted to race in Bahrain September 2015: After another disappointing showing in Italy, Alonso branded McLarens weekend in Singapore the best of the year so far after he matched their best performance in qualifying in 12th. Being a Saturday, this was perhaps premature as both he and Button were forced to retire after gearbox failures.Alonso did finish the race the following week in Japan but only in 11th, and branded the teams display embarrassing.

He experienced a race of highs and lows in Austin, at one point finding himself up in fifth before electrical problems, eventually battling back from the back of the pack to finish close to the points. November 2015: The Spaniard only lasted one lap at the Mexican GP before bowing out from another frustrating weekend, and at the next race, he comically went sunbathing after his McLaren car broke down in qualifying. Alonso opted to soak up the sun when he sat by the side of the Interlagos circuit, and after that, he took a spoof visit to the podium with team-mate Button. Im not sure if well get in trouble for that, but it was a lot of fun, said Button. It was the most fun Ive had this weekend. On Sunday at the Brazilian GP, Alonso could only manage 15th.The last race of a miserable season couldnt come soon enough for Alonso, and it was another disappointment at the Abu Dhabi GP.

He eventually finished 17th, while McLaren werent ruling out a 2016 sabbatical. February 2016: Alonso does return for the 2016 season and it seems McLaren, although not challenging at the top, have made improvements over the winter. The British-based team completed many more laps in pre-season testing than they could manage the year before, and the Spaniard said: The step forward in reliability at least is huge.March 2016: After an encouraging performance in qualifying at the season-opening Australian GP, Alonso was involved in a frightening 180mph crash after a collision with Esteban Gutierrezs Haas at Albert Park. The force of the impact - reported to have measured 46gs - sent Alonso and his new MP4-31 into the trackside barriers before somersaulting through the air across a gravel trap. It was a scary moment and a scary crash, a relieved Alonso later told Sky Sports. I am lucky to be here and thankful to be here.
