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 min🎉d games - beℱlieves David Coulthard.

F1 veteran Alonso has been unable to confirm his l🌸ong-term future in the sport in each of the 2024 season-opening grands prix in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

But his words are not just psychological warfare to claim the best poss💧ible contract, Coulthard has warned.

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

“I dedicate myseꦆlf 100% for a race and for a team.

“To do a comᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚmitment for the future,😼 I need to make sure that I can give 100% to that team.

“If not, it would be [egot𝓰istical] just to sign, to be in Formula 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 reacted on Channel 4: “It’s the first time I’ve e🧸ver heard him talk about whether he’s ౠgot the drive.

“H🏅aving a conversation with himself? I’m curious if he does it in front of a mirror or in an empty room!

“But Fernando is very ꦫstrategic. But that doesn’t sound like he is sꦚending a message to the paddock.

✤“For a moment, he is actually questioning himself.”

Alonso, the oldest driver on the 2024 grid at 42, is repo🥃rtedly on the short-list to replace Lewis 🍸Hamilton at Mercedes next year.

The Aston Martin driver’s current co💜ntract will expire at the end of this season making him available.

Alonso insists that Aston Martin will retain the first word over his future꧙, if h🦂e does race on into 2025 and beyond.

He has al⭕so mentioned the 2026 engine regulation changes, and questioned whether they will tempt him to battle on.

The tug-of-war for Alonso’s services for next season can begin now bu𝓰t whether the two-time champion wants to stick around is currently up for debate.
