Fernando Alonso feels that his entire career has been marked by an injustice, according to which he has always sat in weaker cars than his rivals.
A documentary was made about Alonso by Spanish television, in which the two-time world champion spoke about how he had always been technically disadvantaged. From an early age…
“I remember when I started karting as a kid, I always only had one set of tires. It rained a lot in Asturias, so the other kids had rain tires on, but I didn’t because we didn’t have the money.
That hasn't changed in Formula 1 either. Here I get rain tires, but not, for example, a Ferrari wing or a McLaren floor. After all, that's what my whole life, my whole career was about: I had to fight with blunter weapons and adapt better than others... That hasn't changed, nor has my desire for success.
"Now when I go out on the go-kart track and see that the best are a second or a second and a half faster than me, I'm just as angry, just as frustrated as when I can't have dinner in the evening. I hate losing, it keeps me alive!" - mused the Aston Martin star.
