Fernando Alonso: Two-time F1 champion will be ‘strong’ on return

Alonso, back after two years racing in other categories, was excused from Tuesday’s launch of his Alpine team’s 2021 car due to travel restrictions. Ocon said he had been impressed by Alonso’s performance when he drove the 2020 Renault at the end of last year. “He doesn’t look like a 39-year-old and he doesn’t drive like one,” Ocon said. The Spaniard said in a Q&A released by he team for the car launch: “To be 100% up to speed, it can take at least the first couple of races, but it is the same for everybody. Renault finished fifth in the championship last season, but have hopes of improving this year in their new guise as Alpine, the French car company’s sporting brand. “We know 2021 will be difficult,” Renault chief executive officer De Meo said.
