Alonso talks about his future: he refers to Alpine and Aston Martin

the goodbye of Sebastian Vettel in F1 which was announced this Thursday and will be effective at the end of this campaign leaves a free seat that could generate some important movements in the market. Among the sounds of the future is Fernando Alonso, a pilot perfectly suited to lead billionaire Lawrence’s project take a walk, and the Canadian owner liked it. The name of the Oviedo player already sounded for the green box a few months ago and with the withdrawal of Vettel it is his own Alonso who referred to the said hospitality option of Alpine.

“All teams without two confirmed drivers are an option… But as you said, Alpine is my priority, because we’ve been developing this project for two years and we’re getting more and more competitive.”directed at statements that include ‘Marca’ and ‘As’.

“But you can’t want to sit down and rush everything quickly. Everyone follows his pace. When there is a will to compromise, 10 minutes is enough, you can’t put a gun to anyone’s head, when you fight reach the an agreement an agreement is one of the parties is not happy. It won’t take more than 10 minutes. If we have to fight a lot, it’s weird.”added the Spaniard, that if he had the Aston Martin option, he could have more power and freedom to sit down to negotiate the Alpine.

Yes, temporarily, Alonso what Lawrence Take a Walk He didn’t call you. In fact, Vettel He admitted in the press conference that he offered his ‘hospitality’ that he made the decision on Wednesday and yesterday he informed the team about it. Lawrence had time to dial the Asturian number if he wanted to. Although now, Alonso assures that Lawrence called him only a few years ago. “I got a call, I think in 2020 (Aston Martin), when they were strong and on the podium. But it didn’t go well and I chose Alpine. I’m happy where I am.”he declared.

In Alpine, Ferdinand He feels “at home”, as he has repeated, but as he said recently, Alpine must first present his project for the next years. For its part, Alpine must close the transfer of its young star Oscar Piastri to keep him, prevent him from signing for another team and gain strength for the future in Alpine while Fernando continues to lead the French team.

What is certain is that Fernando will not have the wheel of the three best teams at the moment, Red Bull, Ferrari or Mercedes, something that he also appreciates: “It is true that the two or three teams that can win are full and you have to look at the challenge of betting on others who can do it soon, which is my case. My big challenge now is here, trying to win this return, which is not easy. Other categories do not appeal to me now, I have no family (sons), I’m happy where I am,” he added.

Motivated by the 2023 course

“My mind is here, I feel motivated and fresh. Next year will be the second year for these cars, we will race in Las Vegas and I feel really fast this year. Last year I was a little pushed at the beginning, but this year that I found myself 100% and my head was focused on F1 and not on any other part or category”, he concluded in this regard, recognizing Vettel as one of his best rivals.

“Seb and Lewis are the two I’m with most of the time here. Obviously, Michael (Schumacher) is the biggest milestone as a rival that I have here, because I grew up seeing him dominate this sport and I was able to compete with him for two championships. And I learned a lot of things about him. And with ‘Seb’ and Lewis, the same thing, we’ve shared a lot of things here inside”, said the Oviedo native.
