F1: Fernando Alonso ready for transfer whirlwind

A report in AFP states that Fernando Alonso dreams at 38 years of being back in the wheel of a Formula 1 and could be one of the major players in the transfer market for 2021 with several options, including a possible return to Renault.

"From a physical point of view and in terms of motivation, I am at the top, so I would like to be able to focus on a major championship, whether it be the return to F1, the World Endurance Championship or the Indycar ", said the Spanish double world champion F1 (2005-2006) on Monday.

If he has often mentioned a return since his departure at the end of the 2018 season, his declarations come in the middle of a transfer waltz with the departure of German Sebastian Vettel from Ferrari, replaced by Spanish Carlos Sainz Jr, him - even replaced at McLaren by Australian Daniel Ricciardo who, suddenly, released a steering wheel at Renault.

Alonso and Renault is not only rhyme but also a long story. It was with the diamond team that he won his two titles before coming back from 2008 to 2009 after a tumultuous year at McLaren alongside a Lewis Hamilton who was still a beginner but who had shaken up his senior quite a bit.

The native of Asturias then spent five years at Ferrari, then another four at McLaren without conquering a new title when he is generally believed to be one of the best drivers of his generation.

A generation that has aged. Soon in his forties, Fernando Alonso could find himself on the grid with pilots of some 15 years his cadets like the Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), the Ferrari duo made up of Monegasque Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr, without forgetting the French Esteban Ocon at Renault.
