Alonso is one of the best drivers on the grid, possibly the best, and definitely the one who has the greatest mental strength. If there’s the slightest chance, he’s going to win, something that not everyone can do
I don’t think Fernando won as much as his talent deserved. Those who have missed him most are his rivals. The best know what it means to face someone who’s in their own league
Fernando is an exemplary teammate for the other drivers and a benchmark for the engineers. His driving is of the highest level and he is very consistent
