He ended the 2023 F1 season in a well-deserved fourth place in the driver’s standings.

It all comes back to the same thing: I always want to improve – to become better is the main motivator throughout my career. I am never happy with the position I am in. I want to be better tomorrow, and I want to be better next week and next month. This is what has kept me driving for so long.

The 2024 F1 season has so far not gone to plan for Alonso and his team. However, despite facing setbacks in the first half, they can turn their fortunes around during the upcoming second half. The first stop is Zandvoort for the Dutch Grand Prix where Alonso managed a brilliant second-place finish last year.
