It's not all about F1 , says Fernando Alonso...
While it has been almost a decade since Fernando Alonso won in Formula 1, he pointed out that motorsport is about more than just F1 as he defended his career productivity.
From there it was a very tricky period in Alonso’s F1 career, the failed McLaren-Honda reunion being the final straw as he headed on a sabbatical after the 2018 campaign, ultimately returning to the series in 2021. Alonso raced to back-to-back 24 Hours of Le Mans titles alongside Sébastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima in those years away from F1, also winning the 2018-19 World Endurance Championship title with that duo.
“It hasn’t been that long [since I had a chance of winning races on merit],” said Alonso, as per Motorsport.com.
