Fernando Alonso’s latest heroic drive prompted plenty of questions from The Race Members’ Club on how he’s achieving this level of Formula 1 performance in his 40s
Fernando Alonso, despite being 42 years old, has consistently defied age-related assumptions about his performance in Formula 1. He dismisses questions about his age and believes that experience is more valuable than youth. Alpine’s proposed deal for an extended contract after 2022, which included a one-year offer with a ‘plus-one’ option, was not well received by Alonso and prompted him to switch to Aston Martin for 2023. This decision has proven successful, as Alonso’s recent performance in the Brazilian Grand Prix demonstrated. The question arises: how does he continue to perform at such a high level? Some believe that Alonso, like other elite drivers, has the ability to be successful in any era or car. The current cars may be tougher for drivers, but Alonso and Lewis Hamilton possess the talent to excel regardless. Ultimately, if a driver continues to perform well, age is not a limiting factor.
