Fernando Alonso is all set to make his return to the F1 in 2021. Ever since former World Champion has announced his return, there are many who have predicted how he will perform in the upcoming season with Alpine. Tom Coronel, F1 pundit has a unique take on Vettel’s return.

On being asked upon whether or not Vettel will be able to get the better of Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes in 2021, Coronel replied bluntly by saying by saying, “In Your Dreams.” 

Those who don’t remember, Tom Coronel attempted to enter F1 in 2000 through outside financing, but it was only as far as his F1 dream materialised. Yet, he feels qualified enough to dish the dirt on Fernando with his harsh take. 

“In your Dreams”: Tom Coronel on Fernando Alonso’s return to F1 

If he does, I’ll be the first to make a very, very deep bow. But that is not going to happen, it would be against all-natural laws. Once you’ve left Formula 1, you’re done,” Tom Coronel stated.

“When you have been away for a year, you already lose speed. Alonso has been away for two years: that is no longer possible. The youngsters are sharper, bolder, more burnt… 

“Alonso is a fighter, but almost 40. You dream at night with your eyes closed and not with your eyes open during the day.” 

Previous F1 returns have had mixed success. So, why can’t Fernando Alonso be similarly successful? 

People have short memories, especially Tom. Yes, we do agree that Michael Schumacher did not write the best comeback story. But go further back in history and look at the examples of Alain Prost

Having said that, Athletes count on better nutritional training and sports medicine to prolong their careers. Tom Brady just won his Super Bowl MVP, and he is 43. So, why can’t Fernando have any success in his 40s?
