Fernando Alonso dropped a big hint about his future after Sunday's Russian grand prix.
A few hours ago, Alonso was rumoured to be headed towards a 'stopgap' year -- perhaps with Williams or Lotus, both of which will have the field-leading Mercedes V6 next year.
But the 33-year-old has now been quoted by the US broadcaster NBC after the Russian grand prix that his next team will not be powered by Mercedes.
"My future is already set," he told British television Sky a few minutes earlier. "Or already set in my mind for some months.
"Now we are finalazing everything," Alonso revealed. "You need to be patient, you need to wait a little bit.
"I cannot say anything until everything is completely done but it's good and I will do the best for my future and the best for the future of Ferrari because it is the team that I love.
"When you know it you will say 'it was so obvious you will do that'," he added.
