in the paddock of Formula 1 they are running out of adjectives to qualify the performance of Fernando Alonso since, after two years trying other disciplines, he returned to the ‘Gran Circo’, completed two excellent seasons with Alpine (injuring and suffering the reliability issues) and, now, he is fighting for the World Cup against the Red Bull.
At almost 42 years old, the Asturian does not have in mind retiring and, beyond the well-known victory 33his real goal is to return to raise another crown.
“Alonso is Alonso because he really wants to improve. He’s not even thinking about retiring yet, he wants to keep competing. He works hard every day and listens carefully to her body and mind. For now, he is still happy on the track,” explained his physiotherapist, Frabrizio Borrain ‘Autosprint’.
What is the secret of the ‘eternal youth’ of the ‘Nano’? According to his physio, the “scientific” preparation: “he has a great base talent, like Schumacher or Hamilton, but DNA alone is not enough. Ferdinand has one absolutely scientific approach to his sport. I already had it twenty years ago when I started working with it.”
“We consult the best experts in each field and we propose and explain to Fernando the innovations in the preparation. If he doesn’t accept it, we don’t“, has explained.
“We are talking about memory, attention, speed in decision-making, the ability to reason, selective intelligence, double reactions, reactivity. If you work on all of this, you can improve neuroplasticity to combat brain aging. But it is something that you have to start when you are young, not wait to realize that you need it at 40 years old,” he added.
In fact, every day when he opens his eyes, Alonso already thinks about staying at 100%: “Every morning, Fernando, as soon as he gets up do a cardiac variability test to find out and if necessary alter the preparation”.
Fernando will continue running “until his physique and head allow him” since “the current F1 helps himbecause the management of technical resources is very important, starting with tires and gasoline”.
