Fernando Alonso named Lando Norris and Alex Albon among the most promising young drivers in Formula 1. At the same time, veterans of the championship, such as himself and Lewis Hamilton, are also doing a good job, according to Fernando.
Fernando Alonso: “Lando Norris has a great talent, and he himself is a nice guy. Alex Albon made a big impression this year. Among the young drivers I can mention Gabriel Bortoleto, who recently won the title in Formula 3, and José Maria Martí.
In IndyCar, Alex Palou has proven to be outstanding. After all, the stopwatch always tells the truth. There are a lot of drivers in the championship who help veterans like Lewis and me. The veterans are doing well at the moment.”
Reflecting on last year’s chain of events leading up to a contract with Aston Martin, Fernando Alonso said he had no regrets about leaving Alpine.
“It all started with Sebastian Vettel’s decision to retire,” said Fernando. – Secondly, the negotiations with Alpine lasted several months, but we never came to a final decision.
As for Aston Martin, they had all the paperwork ready on Saturday after Vettel’s statement on Thursday. I was impressed by their desire to get to me. The decision to sign the contract was a risky one, but this time my intuition didn’t let me down.
I hope that in the winter of 2024 we will make the same progress as last winter. It would be incredible. Of course I may not win a race for the rest of my career, but every day at breakfast I think about the fight for the title.”
