The surprise and also the alarms arose shortly before the start of the Spanish Grand Prix of Formula 1. Alpine doubt about Fernando Alonso. This is how the words of Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault, are interpreted when referring to the current situation in the team of the two-time world champion.
“We love Fernando very much. We are going to have to find a solution for everyone, because we also have Esteban and Oscar, they are very good, and we want to protect our riders and seek an ideal solution for everyone. I think the work that Fernando has done and is doing is incredible,” he told DAZN.
It is a fact that the Asturian’s start to the season with Alpine is far from expected, but it is no less so that most of the poor results obtained have been the product of problems unrelated to Fernando Alonso. Hence the surprise and even stupefaction at these words.
So much so that even former pilot Pedro Martínez De la Rosa, on the very platform for which he is a commentator, described them as Something incredible”.
“I was surprised that there was no ratification because, for all of us, it is incredible. The question, for me, is if Fernando would want to continue, not the other way around.. With a project, with a plan. The plan is in the medium-long term in Formula 1, if not there is no result. The way for ‘El Plan’ to take effect is by having Fernando in the team for several years, it’s a long-distance race,” said De la Rosa.
