Age is not an obstacle

Alonso is the biggest driver on the grid, but hopefully no one can beat him.

And in remarks BBC He gives his explanation about the highly experienced this year. “What I think has happened is that others may still not be 100%. That allowed us to jump from seventh place in the manufacturers’ standings to second place, but our real position is certainly more like fourth or fifth. We might give up a position or two depending on how other people do their jobs.”
