Lego Saturn V ftw. OK that was irrelevant but I have one too! I thought this was a fascinating story, he's a fascinating driver, please do more like this.
When Alonso came back to F1 i was like why. He had some competitive drives that is hard for someone his age to do (Older drivers tend to be slower and off the pace) But he has lost his MOJO and gone backwards a little bit. Age brings knowledge and data to the team. Like a development or test driver, you cant get that information from a rookie. As they are often confused. They are good for nurturing young drivers as mentors. But he would push hard and race hard drivers way younger than him.
I mean, he has defeated all his team mates since he returned… I think there are only 2-3 drivers that you could say with any certainty would consistently beat him over a season.
More of these please.
Catman is my all time favourite guest on Missed Apex.
Great episode-and glorious outro!
Absolutely love these history of f1 episodes with “catman” Turner. Would love one about what you and catman think of mika hakkinen As a world champion
That's a good shout, will certainly consider it for the next one. My opinion may surprise you...
(And thanks for the lovely feedback!)
@ can’t wait for it. And you guys are awesome !
