Fernando Alonso is a veteran of the track, a two-time world champion. He always made sure that he got what he needed and extracted the maximum out of his car. Alonso’s former teammate, Jarno Trulli, thinks that the Spaniard always made sure his priorities were met first.

Now, with Alpine, at the age of 39, Alonso will do his best to beat his French teammate, Esteban Ocon, and come out on top. The Spaniard will throw everything he has got to ensure he is one that is victorious in the teammate rivalry.

In the upcoming weekend, the F1 grid will move to Imola for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The veteran driver will hope that he can put himself in the best position and achieve a good result.
