Fernando Alonso is arguably a generational talent. Many would agree that his championship record does not do justice to the kind of driver he is. But according to an ex-F1 driver who knows a thing or two about winning, only Alonso can be blamed for not adding to his championship tally.
In his Formula 1 career, David Coulthard amassed a grand total of 13 victories. Safe to say, he knows a thing or two about fighting at the very front in Formula 1. And in his opinion, Fernando Alonso is only a 2x Champion, by Alonso‘s own design.

He was quoted by Formule1.nl, saying, “Alonso should have more than two titles, but his choices and the racing gods have put him in the position where he will drive for Aston Martin next year.”
“And the chances of him becoming champion are slim.”
Well, it would appear that Fernando Alonso doesn’t quite agree with Coulthard. Coulthard’s assessment of the Spaniard’s chances to fight for Championships with Aston Martin may be viewed as realistic. However, Alonso is as happy as ever to put his trust in the British team.
