Fernando Alonso hints at U-turn on F1 move Max Verstappen has already ruled out

Fernando Alonso appeared to rule out any further attempts to achieve the fabled triple crown of motorsport.

The Spaniard has already completed two of the three achievements needed to join that very exclusive club. It currently contains only one man – the late, great Graham Hill, who won the Monaco Grand Prix five times, was victorious at Le Mans in 1972 and won the Indianapolis 500 six years earlier, at the first attempt.

Alonso wants to join him and has achieved victories in the first two events but, despite three attempts at Indy500 glory between 2017 and 2020, that final piece of the puzzle eludes him. His focus is now fully back on F1 and the 41-year-old is enjoying a remarkable career renaissance with Aston Martin.
