Alonso not set on a 3rd title

Fernando Alonso still hopes to win a third title with McLaren after the first two coronations won by Renault, even if the MP4-31 is still far from the forefront against the Mercedes and Ferrari. While the Asturian turned to the Woking team, the Prancing Horse bounced back while the British structure struggled to obtain performance with the Power Unit Honda.

“I think I'm in the right place, but sometimes you don't have time to wait for a project to develop to obtain results when you're a spectator or an athlete. Anxiety is understandable”, explained the Spaniard in an interview with Channel 4. “I think this is the car (team) that can beat Mercedes. Everyone wants to win and be champion, but only Lewis (Hamilton) and Nico (Rosberg) are currently capable of it. »

Fernando Alonso will not insist on staying in F1 with the sole aim of winning a third title. “I can’t be frustrated that I’m not a three-time world champion. I need it quickly, otherwise I will have to withdraw without this coronation. I already feel privileged to have won two and to have been on the podium a hundred times (97 times). There are so many things I got without thinking about it when I became an F1 driver. added the McLaren driver.
