Mika Hakkinen says he is "quite surprised" that Fernando Alonso is already talking about retirement while facing a "massive task" with McLaren.
Joining McLaren at the start of this season, Alonso has made it clear that the Woking team will be his last in Formula 1.
Earlier this month the Spaniard, who is now in his 15th season as a F1 driver, stated: "After 15 or 16 or 17 years of Formula 1 - whatever it will be - it's enough.
"I started with McLaren-Honda when I was three years old - a replica of my father; I will finish with McLaren-Honda, but the real one in Formula 1, and that will be one third of my life."
His comments have worried former McLaren World champion Hakkinen.

Apparently Alonso stated earlier this month, he's considering retirement already? Of course it's not about retiring after this year, but Mika Hakkinen is worried he's already speaking about it after just a few races with McLaren Honda.
Should we be worried as well? I can understand Alonso if this McLaren challenge ends in disappointment as well. He's lost seven years of his career by making wrong team decisions.
