Fernando Alonso, the oldest competitor in the 2024 F1 lineup, has been part of the sport since 2001. Despite his age, his exceptional speed remains intact. As the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix approaches, a former F1 driver and Aston Martin ambassador took the opportunity to praise him.
The 53-year-old former race driver, who understands the challenges of racing at an advanced age, has great admiration for Fernando Alonso (42). Since joining Aston Martin, Alonso has become a formidable driver.
Although Alonso is a two-time world champion, according to the former driver, he deserves even more recognition. He serves as a true inspiration to the younger generation, showing his love and passion for car racing. This is one of the reasons why Aston Martin recently extended his contract.
Alonso not only possesses incredible knowledge and expertise, but he is also highly valued by Aston Martin. Many of the current drivers in the sport admire him for guidance and inspiration.
Although the AMR24 currently sits in fifth place in terms of speed on the 2024 grid, the team hopes that upgrades for the upcoming event in Imola will improve their position. Once again, the spotlight will be on Fernando Alonso as he showcases his skills at the Enzo and Dino Ferrari racing circuit, which is 4.909 km long.
