( CNN ) -- McLaren may want a reunion with Fernando Alonso , but the Spaniard has no intention of leaving Ferrari . On a frantic Friday at the Singapore Grand Prix , McLaren chief Martin Whitmarsh announced he wanted to bring Alonso back to the team he drove for during the 2007 season . When asked directly if he wanted to recruit Alonso , Whitmarsh responded : `` Yes - any team would . He 's the best driver . '' `` I do n't know his contractual situation . I assume he 's under contract . '' But any hopes McLaren had of luring Alonso back were quickly quashed , with the two-time world champion declaring he saw his long-term future with Ferrari . `` I keep repeating every weekend -- and I do n't know why I have to keep repeating -- I love Ferrari and I will stay in Ferrari until the end , '' the 32-year-old told Sky Sports News . `` It is nice to have the comments from the other team principals every year saying they respect my job and my professionalism -- especially McLaren as there were so many rumors that we had a lot of problems that year . `` But I always say that I had no problems with anyone , it was just the philosophy of the team or rather one man in the team that is no longer there . Interactive : Singapore set to light up F1 . `` It is good to have these comments , but I have no intention ( to leave ) . I have three more years with Ferrari and I hope many more to come if we can extend the contract and that will be my hope . '' Two-time world champion Alonso has been with Ferrari since 2010 , but his position as the team 's undisputed No . 1 driver has been called into question following the announcement Finn Kimi Raikkonen will race for the Italian manufacturer in 2014 . Alonso was also given a dressing down by Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo for appearing to criticize the team 's car earlier in the season . McLaren 's current drivers are Mexican Sergio Perez given that Jenson Button . Alonso 's solitary season with McLaren was a turbulent one , with in-fighting damaging team unity as both the Spaniard and rookie driver Lewis Hamilton challenged for the world championship .

Raikkonen 's return to Ferrari on a two-year deal was confirmed last week , with the current Lotus driver replacing outgoing Brazilian Felipe Massa . Alonso is desperate to win a world title with F1 's most successful team , but has been thwarted by Red Bull 's triple world champion Sebastian Vettel and a car which has at times been uncompetitive . Alonso sits second in the drivers ' standings , 53 points behind current leader Vettel after 12 races of the 2014 season .
McLaren decided to sign former teammate Fernando Alonso . But the Spaniard has no intention of joining current team Ferrari . Ferrari announced the signing of Kimi Raikkonen last week . Raikkonen won the world championship with Ferrari in 2007 .
