Fernando Alonso is F1’s most experienced driver, and firmly believes “nothing has changed.”
Fernando Alonso rejects the idea that F1’s racing guidelines have changed much, maintaining he races as he always has. As F1’s most experienced driver ever, with 411 grand prix starts, Alonso believes drivers always seek to exploit guidelines to their benefit. Max Verstappen feels the guidelines are making racing “unnatural,” while Alonso staunchly insists his approach on-track has not changed. In his 22nd F1 season, Alonso notes that drivers can fall afoul of guidelines due to lacking a complete race picture as it unfolds. Despite some tweaks and adjustments, Alonso feels the rules remain relatively constant over the last two decades. When racing, Alonso focuses on following instincts rather than strict adherence to guidelines, aiming to avoid contact and damage to his car.
