Fernando Alonso Not only has he managed to put an end to a long seven-year wait off the podium with his third position in Qatar, but also has been able to revive the desire to see him proclaim himself world champion for the third time in Formula 1. The Asturian, both questioned and longed for on his return to Great Circus, has managed to make the feat of expanding his record not seem so utopian and together with a car that was only prepared to survive in the middle of the grid, ‘The Plan’ continues to gain strength looking forward to 2022 where everything is yet to be discovered.
Affirmed it Prost, Alpine advisor, ensuring that “nobody knows what will happen” starting a next season in which the French team focuses all its efforts. Why? Because it is an opportunity that will stand out who best embraces the changes. And in that aspect Alonso has total confidence in the team… and its capabilities. The Asturian wants a third crown to his name, his talent and competitiveness are the perfect mix to achieve the goal and the result under the Losail spotlight, one more ingredient in his ambition that asks him even more: “I really want to see him arrive the third championship and I will do what is in my power, especially in the coming years. “
After his podium in Qatar, Fernando was sincere on the F1 podcast on what he expects from a sports career in which for many he is already the best in history, although the numbers do not place him at the height of Hamilton or Schumacher. Although both seem unattainable, Alonso is aware that the simple fact of adding one more title “It would mean a lot in terms of legacy” when his career ends in the World Cup. “It would mean how to always go to the limit, always trying to find excellence in the things you do and having a very high discipline in the way you do it “, insists the Asturian, about a dream that can become a reality.
Although the idea of ​​a new crown sounds strongly, far from becoming an obsession, this goal simply demonstrates the personality of a two-time world champion: “It’s not that I’m desperate to get there. I’m just a competitive person in everything I do.” Is there a limit to achieve it? The plan is that Fernando stay on the grill “at least two or three more years.” At the moment he has secured the first with Alpine and the words of the Asturian place him, at the very least, competing until he is 42. Because “it does not matter if you are 19 years old, or if they are 42 or 43, simply it is a way of life that requires total dedication and that is the most important thing about winning the third championship: this type of legacy and the message for future generations. “
