(Reuters) - Double world champion Fernando Alonso, 39, lapped fastest in a controversial appearance for Renault in Formula One's post-season 'young driver' test at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina circuit on Tuesday.

The Spaniard, winner of 32 grands prix, is not a young driver by any stretch of the imagination but has not raced in F1 for two years and was given special dispensation ahead of a comeback next year.
