A high level of motivation is also evident in his performance. It doesn’t matter if he is not battling for poles, podiums, or victories. The Spaniard can still make a great impression, even if he is only aiming for fifth place.
It was his best moment in his most recent stint at Alpine, when he finished fourth in the Constructors’ Championship in Qatar the previous year.
Despite having many problems with reliability, the A522 managed to finish as the best team behind the so-called top three (Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes).
Is he going to stay in F1 for a long time?
Alonso has no plans to retire anytime soon, as he will continue to compete at the highest level at Aston Martin for at least two seasons.
“I’ll keep driving as long as I feel I’m still able to give 100 percent,” Alonso told AutoMotorUndSport.com.
I have to do a lot of things differently at my age: the training, the traveling, the events. Formula 1 is becoming more and more demanding.
Is it possible for Alonso to become a team principal?
Whenever he leaves F1, Fernando has always said he could return to the Dakar Rally. This would allow him to continue his passion. While he has a vast amount of experience and knows how to strategize within a race, he is unsure if he would be able to act as team principal.
