Sin🅺ce returning t𓄧o F1 in 2021, Alonso has often spoken about his desire to win a third title.

He narro𓆉wly missed out in 2007, 2010 and 2012, but he’s not gotten close since due to m🍌any years in uncompetitive machinery.

With🐲 time ܫno longer on his side, given his age, Alonso’s only priority isn’t championship glory.

“I am enjoying the process, especially no♌w with Aston Martin, to become a contender for the future. I’m loving the time with the team how we are all growing up in many different ℱareas.

“I am 99% sure I will try the Dakar again, and it’s no𓃲t that the third world title is less of a priority – it is a priority – but winning Dakar one day is a high priority for me as well.

“I will maybe have to attempt that race eight, ten years until maybe one day I get lucky and fight ✨for the win. But if I win in F1, endurance racing and Dakar, that will feel for me something special as a driver and as a person. So those kind of challenges are in my head at the moment.”
