Fernando Alonso believes title success in the near future is only possible with either Mercedes or McLaren, adding that he has no regrets about leaving Ferrari.Alonso joined McLaren from Ferrari at the end of 2014, only for his arrival to coincide with a further dip in form for the British team as it partnered with Honda and a return to victories for the Italian outfit. This season McLaren has made incremental progress while Ferrari has recently slipped behind Red Bull as the best of the rest, but the two-time world champion has no doubt he is in the better of the two teams for his long-term title hopes.I was right. I was right because I felt I was right, he said. In 2014 I made the decision and had two years more on my contract, but felt I was right to go. Whatever results they achieve in 2015 and 2016 or in the future, for me my time there was fantastic and I wanted to finish on that fantastic feeling. Every year was a little bit more stress because you are not winning and it seems that it is your fault.Now it is not a relief that they are not winning or having more problems, I dont wish any problems on Ferrari because it is a team that I will always have in my heart. But in terms of driving, how competitive I can be or my third world championship hopes, then you drive for Mercedes or McLaren-Honda. That is my opinion and the feeling from that decision.Alonso has scored 26 points this season with a best result of fifth at the Monaco Grand Prix, but says results this year do not matter as McLaren prepares for a championship challenge under new regulations in 2017.We dont have an estimation and we dont think in that way, guessing which position we will be. We really dont care too much and we are just concentrating on being world champions. Being world champions requires a big improvement for next year and a lot of the efforts for this year are with a view to next years car, so all the new parts that we are trying are being used in a way to understand what direction to go next year.The power unit will be a key factor for us and that is the main limitation we still have now. We need to understand and push for next year to have a power unit that is comparable to our opponents. So the priority is totally focused on 2017 in our heads. Definitely the 2016 car is still being developed at the same time, so we will bring new parts this year, but we dont know if those new parts will be enough to gain position or not, its just more of an understanding thing.Authentic Shoes Wholesale .

The other wielded his bat like a butchers cleaver. Yet, for reasons that remain a mystery (even to me), it was the latter I fell for. Perhaps it was because, even through the minuscule convex TV screen, I could see the steely glint in his eye, for which he would later become famous. Or maybe I just liked the fact that he appeared to be as fond of playing the cut as I went on to be.His name was Stephen Rodger Waugh.He bludgeoned 126 runs off 133 balls that day. (Twin brother Mark made 112 off 123.) From that day forth, Steve Waugh, as everyone seemed to call him, became my favourite cricketer.In October 1991, he wasnt yet one of Australias National Living Treasures. He wasnt even in the Australian Test XI. He had been dropped the previous summer after a five-year, 42-Test match run in the team as an allrounder batting mainly at six yielded just three hundreds and a batting average of 38.24.He was widely seen, to paraphrase Fitzgerald, as a cricketer who had had advantages at the selection table that others hadnt, and failed to make the most of them.When, through sheer weight of first-class run-scoring, he won a recall to the Australian Test XI the following summer, it was as a No. 3 and the opponents were the cricketing demi-gods of the Calypso Empire that was still in its pomp.His scores in the first two Tests read: 10, 20, 38 and 1.His Test career hung by a thread. Then, over the course of four and a half painstaking hours at the SCG, he ground out an even hundred against a West Indian attack featuring Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh and Ian Bishop. As a Test batsman, he never looked back, averaging 56.60 in his next 121 Tests, after just 37.14 in his first 47.Earlier that summer another great Australian cricketer had emerged onto the world stage, and it was to him - Melbourne-born and bred - that so many of my fellow Melbournians gravitated. The cherubic legspinner seamlessly assumed the mantle of Great Victorian Hero relinquished by Dean Jones to the era-defining chants of Waarr-nee, Waaaaaar-nee that rang around the G. I respected and admired Shane Warne the bowler, but he wasnt the cricketing hero for me.Warne loved being the centre of attention. He was comfortable there in the spotlight, courting public affection as naturally as a bee gathers pollen; a born showman with a million-dollar smile. He looked as open and at ease with a person hed just met, as he did with his best mate - a trait to admire, but one I knew I could never share.Waugh, on the other hand, seemed quiet, private, studious, thoughtful and impeccably rational. Soon I would receive detailed, written confirmation of my youthful impressions gleaned from afar in a form that is, sadly, now almost alien in this Twitter age: a book, by which I mean a real, self-written work, not the ghost-written copy hurriedly dashed off to the publishers just in time for the holiday season that nowadays passes for a cricketers work. In 1993, Waugh wrote his first book, Steve Waughs Ashes Diary. It sold so well that he authored another ten tour diaries, one book of photographs, and a 720-page, 1.9 kilogram autobiography.The early tour diaries were the best. With no formal leadership responsibilities, Waugh was free to observe, think, wander, explore, photograph and write. As a writer, he was no Ray Robinson, but he wrote lucidly, perceptively, and honestly about the big issues both on and off the field, his approach to the game, tactics, his relationships with team-mates and administrators, and his philosophy towards life in general. Perhaps most importantly of all, unlike so many of the anodyne offerings churned out by professional sportsmen nowad
