The resurgent Fernando Alonso is enjoying his life in the premier class. Most would discount a 38-year-old to race in F1 again after leaving the sport, which Alonso did in 2018. However, the Spaniard shocked the world with his return to the sport at 40, with Alpine. Now, heading to Aston Martin at 41, Alonso might already be planning his future beyond his new team.
