"The V10 last year and the V8 this year were fantastic. One failure in two years, this year in Monza, it is amazing -- and almost funny when you look back at it."
Alonso, 25, won his second championship in Brazil this month. He is leaving Renault to join Mercedes-powered McLaren next season.
Last week he visited the team's Enstone factory in central England on a similar farewell visit.
"I am now moving on to another team as you know," he told staff there. "But if I don't have the possibility to win in the future, then I hope you win because you are the best."
