Old Man Fernando Alonso Resigns For Alpine F1
Formula One

Sorry, that should be re-signed for Alpine F1, apologies for the clickbait typo headlines. The news of the day in Formula One is hardly a surprise as Apline F1 officially confirm that Fernando Alonso has agreed to sign a one-year contract extension. The 40-year-old Spaniard returned to F1 after a two-season absence. With limited testing, Alonso took several races to adapt to his new car. Alonso’s defensive driving at the Hungarian Grand Prix held at bay the much faster Mercedes driven by Lewis Hamilton. It was a masterful display and return to form. Alonso’s drive that day helped to secure the team’s and teammate Esteban Ocon’s first F1 victory.
