Fernando Alonso has never been one to mince words and this time he has come out and admitted that his unfortunate move to McLaren at the start of the 2015 season was wrong. He revealed that he should have left F1 at the time as no other competitive seats were available and should have focused on things like the Dakar Rally which he participated in before returning to F1 with Alpine in 2021.
“Maybe there is one – that I left too late. I should have left Formula 1 earlier. It’s easy to say now, but I shouldn’t have waited until 2018. I should have left two years ago in 2015 or 2016 Dakar and try stamina. I already had it in my mind in 2015 but it took a while to mature. Maybe too long,” he was quoted as saying.
Alonso’s strong performance has earned him a 1-year extension at Alpine
Alonso left F1 at the end of the 2018 season when McLaren proved uncompetitive again despite having a new Renault engine that exposed his car’s aerodynamic weaknesses. Since 2019, McLaren has really seen massive improvement with the team coming P3 at the World Constructors’ Championship in 2020, and in 2021 it won its first race in 9 years with Daniel Ricciardo winning the race at Monza.
Alonso was able to win the Le Mans race twice when he was away from F1 and the Dakar Rally in P5, while also managing to take part in the Indy 500, which he still strives to win. After taking a few races to adapt to the 2021 cars, the 40-year-old Spaniard has proved he hasn’t lost his Midas touch and is again proving to be one of the best drivers on the grid.

Alonso won the 2005 and 2006 world championships with Renault, ousting Michael Schumacher, and was never outscored by a teammate in his career, including Lewis Hamilton, with whom he had his first appearance at McLaren in 2007. They were paired in a controversial, yet short stint.
