Fernando Alonso feels that injustice has accompanied him throughout his career, as he has always driven weaker cars than his opponents.
A Spanish broadcaster made a documentary about Alonso, the two-time world champion spoke about how he has always been disadvantaged from a technical point of view. Since he was little, since his childhood…
“I remember when I started karting as a child, I always had only one set of tires. In Asturias it rained a lot, and in that case the other kids would put rain tires on, but I didn’t, because we didn’t have the money to do it.
This hasn't changed in Formula 1. Here I already get rain tires, but for example I don't have the Ferrari wing or the McLaren floor. Ultimately, it's been my whole life, my whole career: I've had to fight with blunter weapons and adapt better than everyone else... This hasn't changed, just like my hunger for success.
If I go to a karting track now and see that the best drivers are one or one and a half seconds faster than me, then I am just as angry, just as frustrated, as when I can't have dinner in the evening. I hate losing, it's what keeps me alive!” - reflected the Aston Martin star.
