F1 champion Verstappen: ‘Alonso only wants to return to Le Mans if it’s with me’
“Two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso has successfully competed in endurance racing, winning the prestigious Le Mans twice in 2018 and 2019 with Toyota’s LMP1 team and claiming a World Endurance Championship title. Despite still being active in F1, Alonso has expressed interest in returning to Le Mans in the future. Furthermore, Alonso has reportedly approached Max Verstappen about partnering up for the event, expressing that he only wants to return if the Dutchman is involved. Verstappen, who has also shown interest in participating in Le Mans, has spoken with Alonso and expressed excitement about the potential opportunity. However, Verstappen has stated that he prefers to wait for the right timing and a competitive car before committing to the project, as he wants to fully focus on his F1 career until at least 2028.
