Fernando Alonso insists he has no regrets over choosing to leave Ferrari for the ailing McLaren team at the end of 2014.

Alonso was a championship contender at Ferrari, but has so far failed to reach the podium since his return to McLaren. His replacements at Ferrari meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel, notched up three wins in his maiden season with the Italian team last year.

"There are no regrets," he said. "When you finish something in one place it's time to leave it, that's my feeling about leaving Ferrari. I think I did my best there and was the perfect time to finish on a high."

Despite having no regrets over his move of team, Alonso admits that he does have a regret in Formula One: Not adding to his haul of two world championships

"At the moment I am not okay with that," he said. "I have been lucky to win two world titles. There are people who are very talented who have never had the opportunity."

"I was on the track parade with Nico [Hulkenberg, who was] on the front row in Austria and he was hoping for his first podium. He is a super-talented driver so l cannot be frustrated when l don't win this or achieve that."
