“We have to agree on something, I think, over the [summer] break. In the next weeks or whenever I will sit down with the team and see what are their expectations. Also, what is the next step on the project, as well? I feel happy, I feel at home in Alpine, but there is no guarantee of anything, for sure,” Alonso added.
Moreover, Alonso has given little indication of passing his peak, with a current count of 29 points in the F1 2022 season. He has been part of plenty of misfortunes this season which has kept him from taking his points tally higher.
