Alonso wants to see the 2022 Renault in the wind tunnel from January

Fernando Alonso wants to come back Formula 1 and it shows. Over the last five weeks, the double world champion has had the right to three test sessions with Renault (Barcelona, ​​Bahrain and Abu Dhabi).

But the Iberian, renowned for his aggressiveness, is not limited to 2021 and his return. In fact, he is already thinking about 2022 and the arrival of the new generation of car. The statements of Marcin Budkowski, executive director of Renault, say a lot about the motivation of the replacement Daniel Ricciardo.

« We were in the wind tunnel (during a recent visit by Alonso to enstone) and he asked us “You can’t put the 2022 car in there yet? » We told him we couldn't due to restrictions. “When can you start its development?” » he asked us. To which we replied on January 1st.

“Are you planning to put it in the wind tunnel on January 1st? ". We told him that we are not used to it but that this year we could do it”. Right in his boots as usual, Fernando Alonso made them understand that the 2022 car had to be put in the wind tunnel from January 1st. “ I will be there and I will help you “, concluded the man from Asturias. No rest for the Losange.
