SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Fernando Alonso is waiting for McLaren to confirm their switch from Honda to Renault engines before he clarifies his own Formula One future. McLaren are expected to announce at the Singapore Grand Prix on Friday an end to their troubled three-year partnership with the Japanese manufacturer and a new deal with Renault starting next season. Alonso, who won his two world championships with the Renault team in 2005 and 2006, has made having a competitive engine a condition of his staying at McLaren. The Spaniard is expected to extend his three-year stay at the team, but he was giving little away on Thursday. Alonso has spent the last three years mired at the back of the field.
