An unfortunate comment was the cause for the Spanish to close the doors
the future of Fernando Alonso continues in the air and even also by McLaren. Your contract with Alpine ends at the end of this season and, although his great recent results predict his renewal with the French team, the truth is that there is no closed agreement for 2023.
The only sure thing is that the Spanish rider wants to continue in the Formula 1 and that there are teams that do not lose sight of him because of his great talent. However, one of those potential suitors surely took note of what happened this Sunday at the circuit of Paul Ricard.
The McLaren team is one of those that knows Fernando Alonso best
It is a team where they know Alonso very well, since he spent two stages of his career there: McLaren. The English team is a direct rival of Alpine in the middle of the grid, where both teams are separated by just four points, and the Spaniard is aware of that rivalry.
In his brilliant start at the French GP, Fernando Alonso gained two positions and overtook Lando Norris, with whom he fought for much of the race. A moment that, without a doubt, was saved in the memory of all the fans who have never missed his great career.
Lando Norris’ answers have managed to attract a lot of attention
Halfway through the race, the Spanish rider was told by the team radio that the Briton was hot on his heels and his response was masterful: “It’s fine. I want him close so he can kill his tyres”, answered Fernando Alonso, anticipating what happened a short time later.
Once the test was over, Norris’s sincerity was striking. “I was already expecting to finish the race behind Fernando,” he told the press, aware that the voracity of the oldest competitor on the grid remains intact. A quality that McLaren did not know how to take advantage of when they had the opportunity.
