Question: what are the common elements that exist between Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Valentino Rossi? An interest in motor sports in general and Formula 1 in particular, without a doubt. But there is also a rivalry, between the Spaniard and the Englishman in particular and which goes back a long way, while the Spaniard has the Italian's ex as a partner. All these beautiful people know each other very well, and it seems that things are sometimes tense, if we judge by Alonso's latest outing on the meeting between Hamilton and Rossi in Valencia...
We no longer present the double Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso who no longer practices in the major category of motorsport where Lewis Hamilton is the leader. But the Spaniard is keeping busy, to the point that he is currently racing in the Dakar.
A participation that some consider as recreation. An approach that annoyed Fernando Alonso who commented on the Gazzetta dello Sport: “ I have done many races in recent years but for the Dakar, you have to be a little crazy. I don't do it for fun, otherwise I would go to a track to trade cars and motorcycles. »
An allusion which clearly points to the meeting in Valencia between Valentino Rossi et Lewis Hamilton, during which Vale piloted the Mercedes while the Englishman took the handlebars of the Yamaha M1.
« I don't think I would be able to ride a MotoGP »Insists Alonso. “ It's not a show or marketing, it's a real race and you have to be well equipped to do it. » He ends on this Dakar adventure: “ my only goal is to finish the race. I don't care what position I finish the race in, the important thing is to finish it. I like challenges and the Dakar is perfect for me. I am fully aware that I lack experience and probably also speed, but I want to be surprised. »
