After a hiatus, Fernando Alonso returned to Formula 1 in 2021 – first with Alpine and currently with Aston Martin, where he arrived last year and had great success with several podiums. And he feels with enough vitality to continue active a few months before turning 43.
The veteran Spaniard told DAZN: ‘The incredible year I had with Aston Martin, the podiums, the celebration, the champagne, the joy, were a recomposition of the level of motivation and desire’.
Alonso ensured that he continues to have motivation and energy to continue his career, confessing that it is in motorsport that he feels “at home”: ‘I came back [in 2021] because I believed that I was in a good moment in terms of driving and I felt it was a waste to be at home. The year 2023 was a bit of revenge and in 2024 or 2025 I see myself with the same strength, desire, energy, and optimism. I haven’t done anything else in my life, nor have I enjoyed anything else in my life, nor have I felt as comfortable in anything else other than motorsport. It’s me – where I feel good and where I think I do my best’.
