Heading their separate ways at the end of the season, it feels like the gloves are well and truly off between Fernando Alonso and Alpine. F1 ✍️ samcooper_
Of all the teams Alonso has raced for in his 21-year career, it is Renault who he is most closely associated with.
It appears Alonso’s main sources of irritation are two-fold. One how Alpine dealt with his future and two, the car they have given him this year. What transpired was the French outfit suffering a double humiliation of losing one driver and then being publicly rebuked by another. Across the course of the season, the Spaniard has had three engine problems, one hydraulic failure, been hit by another driver once, two slow pit stops, one electrical issue and four qualifying fast laps ruined.
