SINGAPORE: Fernando Alonso remains non-committal on his future with Renault despite posting his first victory in a year at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The two-time world champion Spaniard has yet to finalise his plans for 2009, but he is known to be biding his time before deciding what to do.

With no seats remaining available at Ferrari or McLaren Mercedes, he has been linked with a possible move to BMW Sauber, but may yet stay with Renault after breaking his win drought.

Team boss Flavio Briatore insisted the future was still unclear.

"Well, it's not a victory that changes a situation," the Italian said.

"We have a good relationship with Fernando, we are talking together, and we will be happy with his decision.

"That is all that I can say for the moment."

Alonso also declined to shed any light on what he might do, denying that he was now beginning to prepare for Renault's 2009 campaign.

"No, I didn't say that," he said when asked.

"It's not changing the decision for next year. As I've always said, Renault will be my first priority because I feel I'm at home in this team."

Prior to his win here after starting from 15th on the grid, the 27-year-old had struggled to make an impact this year, with a fourth place his previous best result.

His unexpected victory in an incident-packed night race came as a relief.

"I think I need a couple of days to realise we won a race this year," he said.

"It seems impossible all through the season to be close to the top guys and here suddenly we have been competitive from Friday. It's fantastic."
