Double world champion Fernando Alonso is reportedly poised to join Honda for the 2009 campaign.
According to reports, the Spaniard is ready to leave Renault and has agreed a £15million deal with the Brackley-based outfit.Alonso re-joined Renault in 2008 after falling out with McLaren boss Ron Dennis, and his stay with the French team looks set to be similarly brief.
Honda have made no secret of their interest in recruiting Alonso, even for a single season, with chief executive Nick Fry recently declaring: "Fernando is a wonderful driver who would be a fantastic asset to any of the top teams, including this one.
"The job Ross Brawn and I have is to build a world championship-winning team."
