The father of Ferrari F1 star Carlos Sainz has had his say on the future of Fernando Alonso and when the Aston Martin driver should retire.
Carlos Sainz’s father weighs in on Fernando Alonso F1 retirement debateFernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz look on ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Jeddah, 2023.
Despite turning 42 in July, Alonso has enjoyed his most competitive season in years in 2023 by claiming seven podium finishes with the Aston Martin team. And having won the challenging Dakar Rally event as recently as 2020, the 61-year-old is in awe of Alonso’s longevity.: “Fernando is a special guy and he’s proving that all the time, and I think it’s up to him when he retires.
“As a friend and as a fan of him myself, we need to respect him because he earned the right to decide whenever he wants [to retire]. And he is delivering this year. It’s no problem to stay in Formula 1, but it’s up to him to decide when he is tired or fed up.”Alonso memorably took a sabbatical from F1 at the end of 2018, competing in the Dakar as well as the Le Mans 24 Hours and Indianapolis 500, before mounting a comeback with the Alpine team in 2021.
