Aug.20 (GMM) Norbert Haug has again rejected persistent speculation that Fernando Alonso is looking to leave the McLaren team.
The German, who is competition director for McLaren's engine and equity partner Mercedes-Benz, recently flatly denied that Ron Dennis has given Alonso a green light to walk away from his contract amid his discomfort in 2007.
"There is a contract," Haug now tells the German-language news magazine Focus, referring to Spaniard Alonso's three year deal that began this season.
He added of Alonso: "And in Hungary, without being asked, he verbally confirmed that he intends to fulfil it."
Haug, meanwhile, described the intense rivalry between 26-year-old Alonso and his rookie teammate Lewis Hamilton as "healthy".
"In Hungary however it was not," the German added.
