Fernando Alonso has returned to be news in the media. During confinement some things are happening in the world of Formula 1. That F1 2020 is totally paralyzed, and without forecasts of when or how it will return, does not mean that teams and drivers are not moving, especially those who have to renew their contracts with their respective teams.
The Spanish champion affirmed that «When I left Formula 1 in 2018, I needed that step back., because I had been traveling non-stop for 18 years, with the pressure and stress of always doing it to the maximum, and also with the implication of being a pilot all year. These two years, with Le Mans, WEC, akar,... and also 2020, which is being the same for everyone, have been very good for me to catch my breath. I have renewed energy, it is as if I were 23 years old again, and this encourages me a lot for the coming years. "

This may leave the door of a possible return to F1 with more possibilities. Although everything seemed complicated or almost impossible, it is likely that the stars are aligning to return Fernando Alonso to F1 that owes him so much, as well as some more world titles. The same is the opinion of the German Nick Heidfeld «I want Alonso to return to F1; he deserves more titles.» The retired driver highlights the clean aggressiveness and quality of the Asturian on the track.
«He is the person I most want to return to F1. I would like to see him because he is undoubtedly one of the best. He has been world champion, but he has deserved to win more titles. It was fantastic to see. It was just as extreme inside the car as outside of it. There were some stories where teams didn't play to his benefit. He was the driver I've enjoyed the most on the track against. He was very clean, but very tough.«. He has also had good words for Kimi Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel.
By the way, a Sebastian Vettel who seems to have rejected the first offer from Ferrari for her to stay and they have called her a "joke" because the conditions, perhaps, of salary and status within the team would not be very favorable. Who knows if to "force" him a bit to reject the offer and make way for another driver... Some media have already placed Alonso in Vettel's place, although these are only theories, and they add that they could sign the Spaniard with a contract very short duration and low salary.
