At this point we are not going to discover that Fernando Alonso is a true work maniac. What perhaps the Alpine engineers did not know about the Asturian is that in their eagerness to improve they were going to run out of holidays, including the Three Kings’ Day. The two-time world champion visited the factory located in Enstone (England) that day to check the progress of the 2022 car.
Fernando Alonso has managed to infect the entire Alpine team with El Plan and now the illusion is overwhelmed in a team that has not enjoyed the honeys of success since the Asturian left in 2006. The pilot left an image of his car arriving at the factory and then photographed himself in the simulator, making it clear that for him there is no rest.
According to what Alpine officials have made known, the Renault engine of the car will have an additional 35 horsepower for the 2022 season, equaling in power with Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes. In addition, Fernando Alonso gave a public slap on the wrist to the designers of the French team asking for an extra in aerodynamics for next season. “We lack a bit in that regard,” he admitted in the last race.
Surely the presence of Fernando Alonso served as fuel for his engineers . While other drivers have shared images of his exotic vacations, the Spaniard has not stopped for a second still in search of getting the extra tenths that will allow him to fight next season for the title held by Max Verstappen.
“It is an incredible emotion to go back to the factory. I came to Renault in 2002, when I was 21 years old, I know every corner of this place, every corridor, every door… “ , said Fernando Alonso about his return to Alpine in 2020. The driver now hopes that the team corresponds to his effort with a car of the highest level. ” The Plan no one knows what it is exactly, but it scares people,” he said.
