Fernando Alonso spoke about his future in Formula 1 a week before his 41st birthday.
Spanish already countless times confirmedHe said he wants to stay in Formula 1 for a few more years and his priority is to stay in Alpine, but his extension has now turned out to be far from certain, contrary to previous news. The main question is whether the Alps will choose the veteran Alonso or the young sweetheart Oscar Piastre.
“You are never guaranteed to stay. I think during the break [augusztusban – a szerk.] We have to agree on something. I will sit down with the team in the next few weeks or so and see what their expectations are.” He said Two-time world champion. “We will explain what is the next step in the project. I am happy, I feel at home in the Alps, but nothing is guaranteed, that is for sure.”
As for the rest of the season, according to Alonso, it will be difficult to compete with Mercedes, who are starting to recover.

“I don’t think it will be that easy,” he added. “We’re talking about a huge organization, and we knew that sooner or later they would find themselves. For us, this is more of a mid-range programme. The question is whether it’s possible to start next year’s car soon enough so that the next project isn’t exposed. “The big teams can start a car next year and at the same time develop a car this year. For other teams, it’s more difficult.”
Finally, Alonso emphasized once again that although he is the biggest in the field, he would not take the place away from youngsters like Piastri, who are applying for his place: “I see it differently. Motorsport is about the stopwatch. The main question is Are you still fast enough and can you do it? If you are slow and mediocre, you stand in the way of rising talents. Then you have to give up your seat. I’m still fast, because of others, youngsters don’t get a place.”
