Alonso "My time in F1 is over, I want to be the best driver in the world, in F1 I have already achieved more than I dreamed, I beat Schumacher here, there are other categories that offer me more challenges now, Other ways to understand the races. F1 is smaller in other places "

i think Alonso will be around , sampling car at different times so that if an opportunity arises , he can instantly come back. that guy is hungry for wins and god forbid ( though wont happen in next 5years) if mclaren suddenly has potential to win , he will be back.

Renault would probably take him back too.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

Good showing from Norris in FP1, outpacing Vandoorne!!
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sainz and Norris, hmm, despite how I feel about the drivers for next year, I have a feeling despite the regulations, next year's car will be over a second faster than this year's car.

So, even with Fernando due to get a penalty, plus an extra session over him, Stoffel still qualifies behind.

Remember France? New Track for both Drivers. Vandoorne did a ton of simulation before hand. Fernando none. Fernando still beat him.

And they put an instrument in Alonso's helmet that kept poking him in the eyes!
