168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso is genuinely doubting his F1 future - and is not just playing ♕mind games - believes David Coulthard.

F1 veteran Alonso has been u൩nable to confirm his long-term future in the sport in each of ൲the 2024 season-opening grands prix in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

But his words are not just psychological warfare to claim the best possible contract, Cou💜lthard has warned.

Alonso sai🍌d last weekend in Saudi Arabia: “I enjoy racing, I love racing, it doesn’t matter if💧 I am fighting for a win or for a podium or for P12.

“I dedicate myself 100% for a race🗹 and for a team.

“To do a commitment for the future, I need to make sure that I can give 100% to that 🌱team.

“If not, it would be [egotistical] just to sign, to be𝔍 in Form🎃ula 1 just for fun.

“If I’m here, it’s because I want to do well.

“First of all, I need to speak with myself…”

Coulthard reactedౠ on Channel 4: “It’s the first time I’ve ever heard him talk about whether he’s got the drive.

“Havinꦦg a conversation wit꧅h himself? I’m curious if he does it in front of a mirror or in an empty room!

“But Fernando i🐈s very strategic. 🅠But that doesn’t sound like he is sending a message to the paddock.

“For a moment, he iཧs actually questioning himself.”

Alonso, the oldest driver on the 2024 grid at 42, is reportedly on the sho🌄rt-list to replace Lewis Hamilt🍃on at Mercedes next year.

The Aston Martin 🤪driver’s current contract will expire at the end of this season making him available.

Alonso insists that Aston Martin will retain💙 the first word over his future, if he does race on into 2025 and beyond.

He has also mentioned the 2026 engine regulation changes, and questioned whether they will temp🔯t hi🔯m to battle on.

The tug-of-war for Alonso’s services for next ꦬseason can begin now but whether the t🦹wo-time champion wants to stick around is currently up for debate.
