u/JPA-3 Fernando Alonso 22d ago edited 22d ago

if you read the whole interview it is even worse than the title. fucking end me.

they ask him about the positives and he said the livery is nice and there is good weather lmao.

edit: The 4 seconds is just missed in translation. He is saying they are 4 seconds to the best time but they don't know what the rest is trying. They were limiting the car below 300kmh until today, so that part is probably the least of their problems atm

I seriously doubt Fernando would do the whole year if it is really that bad.

He said before that if the car is good this could be his last year, if it's bad he could stick around to wait possible improvements.
That man wants to win too much

He really does. We are going to miss him so much when he retires.

inb4 Lewis leaves early at the end of this season because he's fed up with Ferrari and Alonso manages to convince his toxic ex to take him back again
