The first reason is I don’t know how I will feel next year.“I’ve been doing this my whole life. Maybe next year by April or May I am desperate on the sofa, so maybe I find a way somehow to come back.“But that is not the initial idea. It is going to be moe how I feel in the middle of next year,” continued Alonso.

Pressed on his achievements in the sport and his legacy he will leave behind, Alonso highlighted his efforts to help young drivers get started in motorsport and break into Formula One.

“Working with the kids and the karting school, the museum, trying to do all the things with the fans and the younger generations,” he said.

“Trying to do my best all the time here. Trying to help them if I can with the knowledge I have from all the years, and also in terms of facilities or something that I did not have in my time.”

Whilst Alonso has had his fare share of controversy in Formula One, he has had some real high points too, and he shall truly be missed.
