Inside Line: Alonso rebooted is great for Formula 1
14 March, 2021
I am very happy Fernando Alonso is back and it’s great for Formula 1. Yes for F1.
Love him or not, he is one of the great characters of our sport and his return to real action yesterday during testing in Bahrain suggests a mighty Version 2.0 of the Spaniard.
Fernando did himself the world of good to take a walk away from F1 for two years. The facts are that he did far more laps in race cars than his F1 rivals during those two years in which he won Le Mans twice and the WEC title among his headline-grabbing experiences.
