We are tired of saying that the career of Fernando Alonso This cannot be assessed by statistics alone. But it is not only us journalists who say this, but they are pilots of the caliber of Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen those who say he has far fewer wins and titles than his performance suggests.
Asked about the number of times he had a truly dominant car in the documentary Decoded from DAZN, the two-time world champion explained that it was something he had to deal with since he took his first steps
“I only had one kart when I competed as a kid, I only had one set of dry tires that my dad made on the kart. In Asturias it rained a lot and When the other kids wore rain tires, I ran with dry tires because we had no money. And it continues to this day. We have a budget for tires but we don’t have Ferrari’s wings or McLaren’s bottom… so l“The story of my life is pretty much competing with weapons that are relatively inferior to others and adapting to what I’m capable of.”
Alonso was also asked about his learning ability and ability to adapt to the different disciplines he participated in. There he talks about the different styles that emerge as the stages burn.
“Starts up, performs under pressure and gets the most out of any car, good or not so good. There’s always room for improvement. Cars are never stable. The drive that was there in the 2000s, isn’t in V8s of the 2010s or now with turbos Other categories that I tried such as endurance, the Dakar or the Indianapolis 500, I felt that I had no knowledge of my rivals and. It’s great to relearn and learn new driving techniques almost from scratch. Although I have been behind the wheel for almost 40 years, I still have a lot to learn“, he expressed in conclusion.
