Ver had his father for him to guide him at each step. Would love to see how he deals with an uncompetitive car. A tough teammate, the politics et al.
The dutch one drove uncompetitive cars against the Aussie from 2016-2018 and an uncompetitive car in 2019 and won a race in 2016, and 2 races per year from 2017-2019.
I really do like Alonso, but I find it a bit of pot calling kettle black in your argument with regards to politics in teams that Alonso participated in. He earned it for sure, but he was certainly the "golden one" at Renault, Ferrari, and Mclaren pt 2. Such was his pace, that it was generally never in the team's interest to hinder him, much like the dutch one.
Again, I generally don't find much if any fault with Alonso's career/actions. Being a top driver requires a comprehensive management of the environment that you are in just like Schumacher before.
