The FIA and FOM are working on a new regulation to make the F1 faster and more impressive. Part of the paddock criticizes the lack of performance of current single-seaters, which is particularly the case for Fernando Alonso who plans to direct his career towards another discipline if things do not develop favorably.

“The cars are too slow. They took all the fun out of flying”, hit the pilot McLaren-Honda aged 34 on the Spanish channel TVE. “In any case, I still have a few years to spend at the top of the discipline. I'm going to wait two more years and then I'll listen to my body. I'm curious to see what the 2017 cars will be like. I'll test one and then think about my future. »

The double world champion has already expressed his desire to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans like his opponents Mark Webber and Nico Hulkenberg, vainqueur en 2015 avec Porsche. “I don't know what I'll do after 30 years behind the wheel, but I won't change my decision when I stop. Before that, I would like to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and return to karting."
