Former F1 driver Marc Surer has evaluated the performance of two-time champion of the races Fernando Alonso at the beginning of the current season.
Formel1 quotes the specialist as saying:
Marc Surer
Getting older in Formula 1 means losing speed naturally. You can't ignore that fact. This affects performance, especially in qualifying. I believe you'll notice it more and more in the future. That's why he's no longer considered one of the top drivers.
Previously, Alonso was penalized and dropped to eighth place in the Australian Grand Prix due to an incident involving dangerous driving that caused George Russell to crash. The Aston Martin team supported Alonso over the incident.
