Fernando Alonso of Alpine F1 believes that the 2022 F1 machine will not be difficult to drive compared to previous generation machines.
F1 has renewed the concept with new regulations so that machines can fight more closely. The basic design of the F1 car has shifted from an aerodynamically dependent philosophy to a grand effect car, and the F1 team is seen as a great opportunity to change the power map.
Fernando Alonso, who won the Renault F1 and two F1 World Champions in the mid-2000s, believes that preparing a new car will not be as difficult as ever.
“Honestly, I don’t think it will change,” Fernando Alonso told Formula1.com.
“I think it depends more on the performance of our car, the work on the simulator, the work on the winter test, and finally after 3-4 races, I think we’re going to capture the car and the regulations. All you have to do is the performance of the machine. “
Regarding the drivability of the new car, Fernando Alonso believes that F1 drivers need to make some adjustments to their driving style. He says it’s a machine, not a driver, that’s new, so to do that you need to pay more attention to the details when you start working with the team in earnest.
“When it comes to adaptation, I don’t think it makes a big difference. It just has to spend a little more time in the simulator and work with the team, so it’s just a little harder than in other winters. “
Regarding his own preparations for the new season, Fernando Alonso commented, “I have more satisfaction to do and that’s my plan for this winter. I want to be as strong as possible.”
“I know I have to train and I’ll have to do it better than other drivers, because I’m older than them.”
“Of course, I’m 40 and I can’t be the same as I was 23.”
“I have to train more. I have to stretch more. I have to have different dietary roots. I have to do many other things to be the same form and strength. I’m ready to do that. Is done ”
