I believe that for all fans, this cover image will always remain in your mind! That's right, today, the man who once snatched two world championships in the hands of "Car King" Schumacher - "head brother" Fernando Alonso, ushered in his 39th birthday!
Earlier this month, after Renault Team officially announced that it had signed Alonso and would partner AuCon as Renault Team driver for the third time in 2021, all fans said in unison: "Our youth memories!" Back! ”。 However, as far as Alonso himself is concerned, in a recent interview, he said that he would not care about the ranking of the 2021 season, and aimed to reach the highest podium in 2022.
2019 Italy Qualifying
It's true that renault will still use the same racing car as the 2020 season next year due to the new rules of f1, but it also gives the former champion driver who is back in f1 some feelings. Of course, in 2022, Alonso is not just talking...
This can't help but pull the fans' minds back to the legendary and brilliant 05 and 06 seasons. Alonso in the paddock in '05 wasn't necessarily the fastest, but he was certainly the most stable driver, with 7 race points, 15 podiums and 133 points, making him the youngest world champion at the time! In 2006, with the black technology of the Renault shock absorber, Alonso and his Renault swept the paddock again, and after winning 6 sub-stations in the first nine stations, even if the black technology was banned in the second half, Alonso still held the advantage and successfully defended the title with 134 points!
It was a year when Schumacher and Ferrari were eager for revenge, and Alonso's strong performance made Schumacher, who had once again missed the championship, announce his retirement after the Italian war. Personally ending Schumacher's rule, and forcing the "Car King" to retire the following year, perhaps only the "head brother" Alonso can do all this.
Although it has been difficult to move to McLaren, Ferrari or renault again, it is indisputable that the two drivers of the year championship and the 32-seat race championship have made Alonso one of the greatest drivers in the entire history of F1. Because even in 2007 McLaren, 10 and 12 years of Ferrari, Alonso only narrowly defeated Kimi and young Vatel, and is still extremely competitive in the strong paddock!
Nowadays, we only need to wait another year to see the figure of the "head brother" in the paddock again! As a driver of "bringing own traffic" in the F1 race, this return to the F1 track, how to be regarded as "the hope of the people", it is reported that in the negotiations of Alonso's return to Renault, the free media group behind F1 also bears part of the salary, and F1, who likes to tell stories, also knows that the return of "Alonso + Renault" will make next season more interesting!
2018 Abu Dhabi Station Alonso waved goodbye
You may think that Alonso, who is about to enter the age of insecurity, will lose some competitiveness, but his enthusiasm for the game will burn all doubts. Simmons, the team's director of engineering who worked with Renault with Alonso, said, "It's a shame that such a talented driver has only won two world championships. If I think it's a pity, then Fernando himself would think it's a tragedy. It's an unfinished business and you could say Alonso is very desperate to win the indy500 to complete his dream of a grand slam, but I know him very well and what he wants most is the F1 world championship. ”
Yes, conquering f1 is still this man's dream, this is the dream he has completed, but also the dream he has exhausted his career in pursuit, for a man, perhaps it is this unfinished wish, is the real motivation for Alonso's return!
At this point, we will no longer say "and see and cherish" as in Abu Dhabi station in 2018, but replace it with the sentence "Brother, long time no see, happy birthday!" ”
