Fernando Alonso I only think about green. He prepares physically in the preseason to be at 100% at the start of the season. And in this new adventure he will once again have an old acquaintance in Formula 1: Pedro Martinez de la Rosa.
The Spaniard, the team’s new adviser, has detailed why Alonso is special. “He is a different pilot. It is not normalHe is a motivated guy”, he expressed in statements to ‘The Race’.
“When he’s not in a race car on a weekend, he calls me and wants to organize a 24 hour race. And I tell him: ‘man, you just finished the season, everyone wants to go on vacation’, but he wants to compete again in December,” de la Rosa detailed.
Motivation is one of the two-time competition champion’s biggest secrets: “What really surprises me about him is that he was adjusting the seat with exactly the same smilethe same attitude and the same motivation as the first time I worked with him 15 years ago.”
“May your motivation be the same as 15 years ago It is what impresses me the most about Fernando, because we can discuss speed, but not motivation,” said the Aston Martin adviser.
Alonso works in the snow in full preseason. His ‘Rocky Balboa’ workouts They are already viral on social media. Also, of course, his mythical images training his neck. At 42 years old, he is still as prepared as at the beginning of his career. And as De la Rosa says, he has not lost his motivation.
In less than a month he will get back on the Aston Martin. It will be in the Pirelli tests that will be held at the circuit of Jerez on February 7 and 8. The Spaniard will only take to the track on the first day, followed by Lance Stroll.
