Fernando Alonso feels that his entire career has been marked by injustice, as he has always been in weaker cars than his rivals.
A documentary was made about Alonso by Spanish television, in which the two-time world champion talked about how he was always at a technical disadvantage. Ever since childhood…
"I remember when I started karting as a kid, I always only had one set of tires. It rained a lot in Asturias, and back then the other kids got rain tires, but I didn't because we didn't have the money for it."
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 existence, my whole career, was about: I had to fight with duller weapons and adapt better than everyone else... That hasn't changed, nor has my desire for success.
"If I go out on the go-kart track now and see that the best are one or one and a half seconds faster than me, then 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.
