168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso is genuinely doubting his F1 future - andꦍ is not just playing 🐠mind games - believes David Coulthard.

F1 veteran Alonso has been u🅘nable to confirm his long-term future in the sport in each of the 2024 season-opening grands prix in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

But his words are not just psy𝕴chological warfare to claim the best possible contract, Coulth💝ard has warned.

Alonso said last 🌺weekend in Saudi Arabia: “I enjoy racing𒁃, I love racing, it doesn’t matter if I am fighting for a win or for a podium or for P12.

“I dedicate mys🎶elf 100% for a race and for a team.

“To do 𒁏a commitment for the future, I need to make sure that I can give🌄 100% to that team.

“If not, it would be [egotistical] just to sign, to be in ♉Formula 1 ♏just for fun.

“If I’m here, it’s because I want to do well.

“First of all, I need to speak with myself…”

Coulthard reacted on Channel 🦩4: “It’s the first time I’ve ever heard him talk about whether he’s got the drive.

“Having a conversation with himself? I’m curious if he 𝓰does it in front of a mirror or in an empty room!

“But Fernando is very strategic. But that doesn’t s﷽ound li🎃ke he is sending a message to the paddock.

“For a moment, he is🌟 actually questiꦚoning himself.”

Alonso, the oldest driver on the 2024 grid at 42, is reportedly on the short-list to replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next 𒐪year.

The Aston Martin driver’s curren⛄t contract will expire at the end of this se𝕴ason making him available.

Alonso insists t🌞hat Aston Martin will retain the first word over his future, if he does race on into 2025 an💝d beyond.

He has also ꦐmentioned the 2026 engine regulation changes, and questioned whether they will tempt him to battle on.

The tug-of-war for A🐽lonso’s services for next seasonꦇ can begin now but whether the two-time champion wants to stick around is currently up for debate.
