Former Ferrari President, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, expresses deep sadness at Fernando Alonso’s struggles with an uncompetitive car. The two-time world champion has had a dismal start to the season, failing to score any points in the first four races. Alonso finds himself at the bottom of the rankings, with two retirements and two finishes outside the top 10.
The Spaniard’s Aston Martin AMR21 has not provided the performance he had hoped for, coupled with some unfortunate incidents, including a steering wheel issue during practice in Bahrain. This has left Alonso frustrated and unable to showcase his true potential on the track.
Drawing a parallel to his time at Ferrari in 2012, Alonso reflects on his ability to compete for victories even with a car inferior to the frontrunners. Montezemolo, who was President during Alonso’s tenure at Ferrari, sympathizes with the driver’s current situation, calling it “really sad” to see such a talented driver struggling towards the end of his career.
As Alonso gears up for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, fans are left wondering if the former champion can turn his fortunes around and climb back up the grid. Stay tuned for more updates on Alonso’s journey in the unpredictable world of Formula 1.
