Alonso feels F1 is ‘still worth doing’ beyond 2022

Alonso feels F1 is ‘still worth doing’ beyond 2022
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Fernando Alonso has asserted that he has no intentions to walk away from Formula 1 at the end of the 2022 season.

Alonso’s future beyond the current campaign is not yet confirmed, with the Spaniard returning to the sport last year in the hope of securing a third World Championship.

However, since the start of the 2021 season, Alonso has taken just a single podium finish, with his winless streak dating back to the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix.

Despite not currently being in a position to compete for the title, Alonso says that he is aiming to remain in the sport for another handful of seasons – but says he will be the first to admit when he’s ready to walk away.

“Next year or the next two years I would love to continue and keep driving because I feel at my best right now,” Alonso told BBC Sport. 

“It would be wrong to watch F1 from home while I still feel 100 per cent of my abilities.

“When I feel it is not that way, I will be the first to raise my hand and stop because F1 is very demanding.

“You have to sacrifice a lot of things in life to keep racing. But at the moment it is still worth doing it.”

Alpine has tied Esteban Ocon down to a long-term deal, with its reserve driver Oscar Piastri looking to sign a deal to become a full-time driver after winning the 2021 Formula 2 Championship.

With a decision looming, Alonso says that he has not yet started formal talks with the Alpine squad.

“We didn’t talk officially,” he stated. “We just had a couple of coffees. But, yeah, I think the possibility will be there.

“The motivation is still there to win and to close that gap [to the front] even if we know how extremely difficult it is going to be. 

“We know there are a couple of things we can do. This first year of the new regulations you learn a lot from other cars and other philosophies, so there are a lot of shortcuts in performance you can find very easily.”
