Paul Stoddart: Work with Fernando Alonso, and you’ll get everything
But a move to McLaren for 2015 marked the beginning of a long barren spell, leading to him opting to leave F1 for two years to pursue other motorsport pursuits. Rejoining in 2021, Alonso put in two years with Alpine before jumping ship to Aston Martin – perhaps Alonso’s first well-timed team switch in 16 years as the Silverstone-based squad have leapt the ranks to become podium contenders.
“So he’s still up there with them – the race craft, the ability, the natural talent, the hunger, it’s all still there. None of it has gone away. Now, age is going to catch up with him, but it hasn’t yet. I reckon he’s got a few years left.”Alonso’s move for 2023 is a particularly interesting one, given that the two-time World Champion has signed a deal to race alongside Lance Stroll – the son of team owner Lawrence Stroll – with a seemingly unshakeably secure position as a driver.
Stoddart believes that, provided Aston Martin treat Alonso as the leader, all will be well in terms of the team dynamic.
