Fisichella makes Renault pledge
Giancarlo Fisichella
Giancarlo Fisichella's only win in 2005 came at the Australian GP
Giancarlo Fisichella insists he has the backing of Renault and wants to stay with the reigning F1 champions.

The 33-year-old Italian, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, has promised to fight for his future despite suffering a disappointing 2005.

"I am looking forward, my contract is until 2006 but my target is to be with them in the future," said Fisichella.

"My target is to race with them. The team is happy about last year, they believe in me, I believe in them."

Fisichella joined Renault last season but found himself overshadowed by Fernando Alonso, who went on to win the world championship.

Alonso has since announced he will join McLaren in 2007, but Fisichella, who finished fifth in the driver standings with only one win all season, says he is not aiming to follow in the footsteps of his team-mate.

"I haven't spoken to Renault about the future. Most of my problem last year was bad luck," he said.

"I don't need to show anything, I just need to win. I think the team is just concentrating on winning the championship with two cars."
