Alonso set to retire from F1
Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso announced Tuesday that he will retire from Formula One at the end of the season after his struggles with McLaren.
The 37-year-old -- who has 32 Grand Prix wins to his credit in 17 seasons -- has become disenchanted as the once all-powerful McLaren team have fallen off the pace.
"I have seen you (F1) changing, sometimes for good, others, in my opinion, for bad," said Alonso. "And this year, while still driving at my best, is how I want to remember you."
"After 17 wonderful years in this amazing sport, it's time for me to make a change and move on. "There are still several Grands Prix to go this season, and I will take part in them with more commitment and passion than ever."
