Hate to say it but at his age he’s probably just glad he gets to keep racing. Even if he had to drive a backmarker I bet he’d just keep doing it for the hell of it.

Say what you want about Alonso but he is pretty die-hard for the sport.

I mean, he did retire in 2018 when McLaren was a backmarker

Mate how can you say that they had the best GP2 engine on the grid.

I dunno, Kimi was like that for a long time up until he finally retired, but I get the sense being competitive is much more important to Alonso. The last couple of years he's repeatedly said he'll bow out once he feels he can't perform anymore, and I believe him.

A driver of Alonso's reputation can go to almost every WEC team, demand a seat, and just get his wish.
