The “no bitterness” outlook keeping F1's ageless veteran on the front foot
If you think Fernando Alonso is clinging on to grand prix racing in the increasingly forlorn hope of adding to his two world titles, you’d be wrong. Speaking exclusively to OLEG KARPOV, some of his closest associates explain what keeps this phenomenal competitor coming back for more – and why he’s just as quick as ever
He competes. It’s what he does. And at 42 years of age Fernando Alonso shows no signs of slowing down – or of forsaking his abiding passion.
“He loves it more than others.”
Pedro de la Rosa – podium finisher with McLaren, Bahrain lap record holder, Aston Martin ambassador and Alonso’s compatriot and friend – doesn’t have to think too hard when GP Racing asks him what keeps Fernando in Formula 1, and why he’s still ferociously quick.
