Ovetense reminded this remaining statistics in Shanghai, and the Spanish emphasized that, despite the years, at the same level or better than when he would win his two titles in the F1 (2005 and 2006) world.

“There are 7 pilots that are not born when you dedicate to F1. Do you feel old or grateful?” They asked Spanish. “Both, maybe (laughs). It is a privilege to continue competing and make my worship, which is the pilot cars. I’m fortunate enough to be able to spend many years in this sport, and here I go. I still feel competitive, lonely and fresh to continue traveling around the world and pilot these cars “He argued for the first time.

No deadline

“And what’s more important, I feel competitive. If at any time I feel like I’m not fast or difficult for me to find a rhythm, I will be the first one I will not enjoy because I am ultracompetitive,” he said.

“For me the important thing was that I was voting in 2001, in China’s first GP in 2004 And I stay here in 2025 and I’m faster in 2004. Or faster. Because now the pilots have different tools or possibilities for us to improve and mask some of the weaknesses we can get. I feel privileged that I am here ”.

The secret of ‘eternal youth’ of Alonso

His physical trainer explained this, Edo blesslli. Fernando Alonso’s ‘Eternal Youth’ secrets are clear.

Today’s knowledge in terms of diets and practice methods to continue throughout, along with competitiveness and exclusive dedication, with a very marked procedure and adapted to your body’s needsAs the fact that he recently recognized that he had reduced the amount of meat he ingests, something that made him happy. That, along with its resistance values ​​and a privileged body, make you continue to pilot throughout.

In addition to all this, It should be added that he was able to maintain his ability to react wholeAs it has been shown that in many races last year it is the fastest pilot to affect the output traffic lights.

But all that would not be possible without Some limitations to succeed again serving as fuel to stay in fullWithout forgiveness in a single training and twisting the cart or any kind of car whenever you can. He hopes to succeed to take advantage of the new regulations of 2026, along with Adrian Newey andA in his Silverstone office that creates a new car of regulation in which Asturian has placed a lot of hope. It remains to the fullest for the day they can deliver a winning car.

About Adrian Newey

Certainly, Alonso was asked if he had already met with Adrian Newey, the best car designer in F1 history, which was newly integrated with Aston Martin since March 3.

“We didn’t talk about many details. Obviously we were busy from Bahrain tests. Then we went to Australia and then, here (China). When I returned to the factory I hoped we had some time. I only knew he was very motivation and preparing what to come by 2026, but also in an eye what we were doing every week.

“I know he’s thinking and knowing his approach to recent years because we’ve been talking for many years. Even last year at the historic Monaco GP we were together, I knew what he was thinking, what he could and I wanted,” he concluded in this regard.

The car’s potential is bright in Melbourne

“It’s hard to say exactly. It’s good. In class is more or less. Until the Q2 damage we are competitive. And then in the race it’s hard to be better”.

The deterioration of the wheels

“What have we learned? I don’t know. We have a lot of rhythms than the front cars, maybe, but it’s hard to move forward. There’s only one narrow racing line to move forward and the damage is high, but when you follow a car it’s always high, so you have to wait and see.”

“This is an interest -kind first race. The rhythm in the classification is better than we expected or what we saw in Bahrain tests, at least. And the race was difficult for everyone, but the result was 8 points for the team thanks to a good Lance result and generally a good race for everyone.”

Looking forward to China

“Last year we started stronger, especially in class. So it would be more difficult. We were dry and wet third parties, in two classification. So it would be a challenge to repeat that result. Although, we will try as much as possible and get the first points of the year for me. But I wish. This is one of the best adjustments of the season and one of the best clues for us in the chape.

About Gabriel Bortoleto, where he is a manager

“The work he did in Melbourne was very impressive -amazing, very good, but he wasn’t surprised. He was the best of the new generation, with Ollie (Bearman, looked at his left and named him because he was by his side, between the laughs). He was well prepared, he was working hard all winter and Melbourne was not the easiest track to go. First of many ”.

How does it make up your representative

“There are very clear rules. That I must go ahead (laughs). That’s what we talked about (laughs). The margin jokes, it’s so good to see Gabriel and the race he has to this day. In A14 we are very proud of the race unanimous with us. This will be the first year he will not win (because he is in Saber, team with no choices) differently.
