McLaren team boss Zak Brown and former boss Fernando Alonso said Alonso's time at McLaren was terrible, referring only to the results. But as for Alonso as a driver and team member, he said he was a complete professional in his job. From next season, after a two-year absence, Alonso will drive for Renault, which will be given a new name - Alpine. Brown said he expects Alonso as a fierce competitor to his team.
"I really enjoyed racing with him."
“We have an extraordinary relationship. We had a lot more bad times on the racetrack than good ones, unfortunately, and he gained a reputation like I’ve never actually seen. Everyone said it was going to be hard to manage, and it was pretty easy for me to work with. ”
"His work ethic and intelligence are unmatched and I think he will be a fierce competitor at Renault."
"He's probably the best versatile driver, certainly one I've worked with in my short time in Formula 1. I think speeds will certainly be, so he's a guy who's going to be hard to beat on the track."
Zak Brown
But not everyone agrees with Zak's opinion. Felipe Massa recently said he thinks Fernando Alonso’s return next season will resemble Michael Schumacher’s return to Mercedes in 2010. Brown added that he and Alonso have a quality relationship, which was evident in his permission for Fernando to miss the 2017 Monaco GP to participate in the Indianapolis 500.
"He gave everything he got, in every round, every weekend, whether it was seventh or seventeenth place."
"He is a total professional. Going to Indianapolis in 2017 was phenomenal. I think we shocked the world with that decision and he led 27 laps, so it was a high moment. "
"I let him go to Le Mans, which he won, we did Dayton together, so I have an outstanding relationship with him and a lot of respect."

I don't know who the break accelerated…. The driver is big but I don't think he will be celebrated.

Hehehe- if Renault (Alpine) is in these dimensions in relation to the rest of the grid, it could actually be anything (. 😏
…. Pause… What break?!?! The character has been in the ass for kilometers and kilometers in the last two years, he probably drove everything except F1, I don't think it's comparable to Schumi's comeback at all… 🤔

0.6s per lap and another 120% on it and Lewis will retire.

Let's go for that third well-deserved title! Hungry and eager for success as he shows interest in racing, driving training, and he is certainly one of the greatest in history when it comes to driving cars that are not even close to fighting for the title.

Wikipedia says Louis Chiron is the oldest driver to start an F1 race with a 55g292d.
I’m sure Alonso will break that record.

Yes, it could not be deduced from the statement that it was toxic.

Zak is a bigger mangup than him.

In fact, Alonso did not resent many… here and now when he cuts in the paddock he greets people from Ferrari, McLaren, etc.… He is a difficult character, but I don't think he is an evil person. Many mix it up.

I expect a lot from the Renault Alonso combination. Withstanding so much mental pressure and as a young driver winning two titles against Kaiser deserves tremendous respect.

The second was ok, but the first was more tense against Kimi than Kaiser. Kaiser was crammed with tires.

So far, he has had 3 tests, with this year's car he himself admitted that it could have been better, and with the cars from 2018, 2 more tests. Had he set new records on the car and track I guess they would have already boasted, so it looks like the start of next season will be shaggy for him. If it took Ricciard a straight half of the season to show Hulkenberg who is faster I have no illusions that it will be different for Alonso with Ocon. But well, next year is just preparation for the main thing, 2022, where I actually expect Alonso to do what Schumacher did in Mercedes and Ferrari, and that is to take the car to the next level with his experience, and I hope that they will to succeed.
It’s no coincidence why he drove 100 laps in Bahrain last week, he might help them in the championship finals.
