For a driver bidding farewell to Formula One having failed to deliver on the promise of his extraordinary talent, Fernando Alonso cut a cheerful figure before his curtain call in Abu Dhabi.
“More than the races or the victories, in the time I have spent in Formula One it is the people I have worked with and shared half my life with who have made the difference,” reflected Fernando Alonso.
Fernando Alonso: “I have worked with a lot of talented engineers, designers, drivers and media.”
“You dedicate your entire life to Formula One,” Fernando Alonso said.
Fernando Alonso: “You have no friends, no family, no free time, no privacy, no wife, no kids, no nothing.”
