Alonso: "I have always had weaker options than the others."

Fernando Alonso feels that throughout his entire career he has been accompanied by injustice, in that he has always driven weaker cars than his competitors.

A Spanish television made a documentary with Alonso, where the two-time world champion talked about how he has always been at a technical disadvantage. From a very early age, since his childhood...

“I remember when I started karting as a child, I only had one set of tires. In Asturias, it rained very often, and the other kids would put on rain tires, but I couldn't because we didn't have the money for that.
This hasn't changed in Formula 1 either. Here, I do get the rain tires, but for example, I don't get the Ferrari wing or the McLaren floor. After all, this has been the story of my whole life, my entire career: I had to fight with duller weapons and adapt more than everyone else... This hasn't changed, just like my hunger for success.”

If I go out to a karting track nowadays and see that the best are one or one and a half seconds faster than me, I will be just as angry, just as frustrated as when I can't have dinner in the evening. I hate losing, it keeps me alive!” - reflected the star of Aston Martin.
