Fernando Alonso is refusing to dwell on the fact it has been 10 years since he last won the Formula One championship, saying the anniversary is just a number.Saturday marks ten years since the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix, where Alonso finished second to beat Michael Schumacher to his second championship for Renault. Alonso then moved to McLaren in 2007, missing out on a third straight world title by one point, before further near-misses for Ferrari in 2010 and 2012.Alonso switched to McLaren in 2015 but has endured two frustrating years away from the front end of the grid, though recent progress has led to encouragement the team can capitalise on next years big regulation changes. When asked about the anniversary in Austin, Alonso insisted his mind has been elsewhere.People keep telling me its the 10th anniversary of my second title but its not something Im thinking about, he said. Were so involved in what youre doing that you dont think about anything else. But when you see the photos of that day of course you feel happy and proud, but mainly with a lot of motivation to live something like that again.Alonso says the timeframe is irrelevant because his only focus is on being the best again in the future.It doesnt really matter its ten years. It could be five, seven or 12, its just a number, but what you want is to get closer to your goal that, in Formula One, has to be the goal to be the best.If youre playing a tennis match you also want to be the best, but Im competing here, in Formula One, and thats what Im trying to be -- the best and that means being world champion. Right now were far from that goal, because were not too competitive, but hopefully next year well get closer to that goal. Slip On Vans Clearance .

With Warren Gatland installed as the British & Irish Lions coach for their tour of New Zealand next June, now comes the question over just who will form his backroom staff -- the brains trust charged with masterminding the Lions first win over the All Blacks since 1971.In 2013, on the Lions victorious tour of Australia, he had four coaches working with him: then England coaches Andy Farrell and Graham Rowntree linked up with Gatlands Wales chums Rob Howley and Neil Jenkins.His approach for 2017 is to blend the knowledge of those who have been on Lions tours before with those who can bring new ideas. In an ideal world, he then wants his backroom staff to take that Lions experience back to benefit the home nations. The chosen few will be confirmed on December 7.Here we have a look at the coaching options open to Gatland for next years mission against the All Blacks and who he may turn to.ForwardsWith both the role of the pack and the front-row needing a specialist, Gatland could turn to two coaches to cover these areas or favour finding an individual who can be across both disciplines. In 2013 Rowntree worked with Gatland to turn the front-row and pack into a fearsome beast. Rowntree, now with Quins, could be picked for another tour while Wasps coach Dai Young has been mooted as another possible option.Then you have Steve Borthwick, who works with Englands forwards and lineout, whose stock continues to rise while Nathan Hines, a 2009 Lions tourist and part of Scotlands staff, could also emerge as an option.Then there are the two Kiwis Greg Feek and Vern Cotter. Feek, perhaps the favourite to take a role in Gatlands team, is currently scrum coach at Ireland while Cotter, who will leave Scotland after the Six Nationss, could come into contention but Gatlands wish for his coaching staff to continue working in the British and Irish isles after the tour could rule the latter out.ddddddddddddBacksThis is an interesting conundrum for Gatland. In 2013 Howley, who will take charge of Wales on an interim basis with Gatland on a sabbatical, was their backs specialist and his services could be called on again.The incumbent Scotland coach Gregor Townsend was one of the front-runners for a spot on the coaching team but his national duties now seem to rule him out of contention.So with England currently void of a full-time attack coach, Gatland may look to left field with Ben Ryan, the man who led Fiji to gold at the Olympics, a contender while Ulster coach Les Kiss may also throw his hat into the ring. He is moulded in the Joe Schmidt template and that may be attractive to Gatland.DefenceRichie Gray, who looked after defence for the Springboks and is now on board with Scotland, has declared his interest for a spot on the tour to New Zealand in what is a hotly contested area.Wales coach Shaun Edwards, who has worked with Gatland since 2008, went on the 2009 tour under McGeechan but was then left out in 2013 with Andy Farrell favoured. With Farrell now at Ireland and Edwards with Wales, Gatland knows them both well and they will be in contention while another option could be Englands Paul Gustard.Gustard is widely recognised to be one of the best defence coach minds in the business and if Eddie Jones side continue their impressive run of form then he could find himself in New Zealand next summer on Lions duty.
