Fernando Alonso has ended his career in 2018 at the end of XNUMX Formulas 1. Nevertheless, he has been the subject of paddock talks over and over again this year. Let’s remember he even offered himself to all three top teams, but unfortunately he didn’t come across listening. His possible return was also debated in Hungary.
The background to the debates was his post on twitter both under the race on Hungaroring. In it, the Spaniard, who is already 38 years old, praised him Lewis Hamilton in Max Verstappen for their duel. This was also mentioned by a journalist at a press conference and he asked both competitors to win in Hungary if he would like to see Alonso in Formula 1 again. "First of all, let me say that this is really nice of him,Hamilton rejoiced over Alonso's words of praise.
"I don’t know how old Alonso is now at all. However, he will always remain a brilliant racer. If he gets a good seat, then he's always welcome here to fight us,”So current champion. For him personally, however, it makes no difference if Alonso were to return to Formula 1. Either way, he will fight all rivals.
"The only pity is that I never had a chance to fight him in Formula 1,”He said Max Verstappen, who otherwise raced with Alonso in the royal motorsport class for several years. However, both of them never fought for victories during this time. And that statement prompted him to advertise Hamilton and jokingly stabs the young Dutchman: “He would be a good teammate for you,”So British.
"Fernando? You already have experience,He replied Verstappen looking at their 2007 season together at McLarn. Hamilton added: "Sport needs the best racers in the best race cars. And there is at least one more seat free that is good enough to be able to fight for victory. And he himself is good enough to compete for victories. That wouldn’t make it bad."
Verstappen with immediate reply: "Maybe I could talk to Toto.But Hamilton immediately shook his head and returned the ball to the Dutchman: "Valtteri is good, Valtteri has already won,”The Briton praises his teammate and explains that with a free seat in 2020 he meant a city next to Verstappn. With all due respect to Alonso, but apparently neither of them wants the Spaniard as a teammate.
He also came in third in the race Sebastian Vettel"It wouldn't bother me. I respect him for what he has achieved and for his abilities on the track,”So the German and jokingly comments Alonso's post on twitter"Apparently he’s bored if he has time to write these things. So bring him back, I wouldn't mind."
Verstappen jokingly suggests: “Maybe as a social media manager."But the Dutchman adds in the same breath:"He was always kind and good to me. I also like that he is now looking at other options in racing. Easy people racing and wanting to win. He wants to be competitive.“According to Verstappn, this is a good approach.
Even outside the current field of racers, there are former colleagues who would welcome it Alonso's return. “I think we should start with a petition. I also think we should bring Alonso back from retirement and put him in another Mercedes car,”He says Nico Rosberg and add: "Bring Alonso back to Formula 1 and put him in a damn Mercedes next to Lewis. Wouldn't that be crazy? That would be epic."
