World champion of Formula 1 in 2005 and 2006 at the hands of Renaultof world resistanceof the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Daytona… and with the same hunger as when it started in 2001 with the colors of minardi.
Fernando Alonsoat 41, is insatiable and says she looks “always driving”, inside or outside of F1.
Of course, as he has slipped in an interview in ‘The Race’, the Asturian would not rule out continuing in the category until 2026when you already have “25 years of experience” (currently number 21).
“At the moment I don’t have anything clear in my head, but I know that eventually I will stop driving one day, and I will have had that time maybe 25 years of experience or something like that“, has pointed out the Oviedo.
At that time, Alonso’s idea would be to take a managerial role: “So obviously I can be very useful to any team. And I hope that team is Aston Martinjust to continue what we do in the years to come.”
To be “happy” and to be “good value”, Fernando wants to “always be driving”, so his idea is combine a new management position with participation in other automotive disciplines.
“I don’t know if it will be sports car or in the Dakar because Sportscar is amazing, but in a way, winning the championship and winning Le Mans and Daytona, maybe I don’t have the emotion of achieving, again, something“, he pointed out.
“Whereas in Dakar, for example, if I win the Dakar Rally one day, I don’t think there is any precedent for doing it.“, has added.
It is not the first time that Fernando Alonso has dropped that the Dakar will be his next destination after Formula 1, but neither has he ever hidden that his intention is to remain in the ‘Great Circus’ for two or three more years. In 2026 he will be executed in a new regulatory change, he will be 45 years old… I don’t think he’s capable, but what if yes?
