Alonso’s contract with Aston Martin ends this season, and rumors suggest he might join either Red Bull or Mercedes. Former F1 driver Marc Surer thinks age could be a concern for Alonso, who is 42 years old.
Surer believes Alonso’s speed may have decreased with age, especially seen in his qualifying performances this season.
However, Surer acknowledges Alonso’s strengths in races. He’s skilled at managing tires and doesn’t need much guidance from engineers.
Despite being outscored by Lance Stroll, Alonso’s experience and motivation are still evident.
Surer feels Stroll’s good performances are sporadic, while Alonso’s recent struggles in Australia were unusual. However, Surer doesn’t think Stroll will consistently challenge Alonso’s position in the team.
