FERNAND ALONS RETURN: A cause for concern at SAINZ

Za Spanish mediawho report on Formulas 1, the 2021 season will be a real holiday. Carlos Sainz will sit in Ferrariand on top of that, as a regular racer, he also returns to the royal class of motorsport Fernando Alonso, who will race for the team Alpine, as the team will be called next year Renault.

Za Carlos Sainz, which won sixth place this year (and also last year), will Ferrari his fourth employer in Formula 1 after To Toro Rosso (2015-2017), Renault (2017-2018) and McLarn (2019-2020). Sainz is the fifth Spanish racer factory teams from Maranello - after Alfonso de Portagu (1956-1957), Marc Gene, Pedro de la Rosa (both just as a test racer) and of course Fernando Alonso (2010-2014). As part of a conversation with the media in Spain, he is 26 years old Sainz first talked about Ferrari, and then about a 39-year-old compatriot Alonso. Asked if he has already received any advice on the Ferrari from the two-time world champion, he has Sainz replied: "No, I haven't yet. However, I am sure we will continue to talk. However, the Ferrari as he knew it in 2014 was different from the Ferrari it is today. The team and the race cars have changed a lot, what remains is the spirit of competition and the enthusiasm of the fans."

And how Sainz assesses the position of compatriots Alonso? "Renault had the third best car in many races this year, they won three podium finishes and I am sure Fernando would race at least at the level of Daniel Ricciardo. If Renault continues to put pressure on the gas and continue to improve, then Alonso will also be able to fight for high places. But what worries me a bit about Alonso is the 2022 season, when we’re going to get brand new race cars, when the royal motorsport class will push the reset button to some extent."
