Fernando Alonso:Formula 1 Success Has Never Been About Driver Skill Alone

Fernando Alonso stated that success in Formula 1 has never depended solely on the driver's skill. According to him, teams have always employed different technical solutions, allowing some cars to accelerate better, negotiate corners more effectively, and achieve stronger race starts than others. He added that the current regulations, particularly those concerning hybrid power units and battery deployment, require further refinement. At the same time, discussions are already underway about future changes, including the possible return of V8 engines at the beginning of the next decade. Alonso believes the regulations will continue to evolve, resulting in cars that are better suited to the needs of the sport.
