Veteran drivers Fernando Alonso and Daniel Ricciardo both denied on Thursday that they were about to leave their teams to join Red Bull next season. 


Two-time world champion Alonso, 42, angrily hit out at claims he will depart the Aston Martin team to take Sergio Perez’s seat alongside world champion Max 
Verstappen. He dismissed the speculation as “the normal paddock rumours from people who try to make fun of it and gain some followers [on social media].” S
peaking to reporters ahead of this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix, he added: “I will make sure there are consequences.”

The 34-year-old Australian, who finished a rousing seventh in last Sunday’s Mexico Grand Prix after qualifying fourth, said he was focused only on Alpha Tauri and maintaining improved form. “All the stuff around my contract next year has been related to Alpha Tauri—I would say that’s, honestly, as far as that goes,” he told reporters.

His strong performance was the team’s best of the season and lifted Alpha Tauri from 10th to eighth in the constructors’ championship. “For me personally, having a weekend like Mexico is just definitely good for the soul,” he added. “And, also, for the team. I haven’t been here long, but for them to be 10th in the constructors and to jump two places in the space of two weekends was huge.”
