Crushing His Villain of F1 Image to Bits, Fernando Alonso Gives Priceless Advice to Lance Stroll to Turn the Corner Amid Recent Struggles

If you have been racing as long as Fernando Alonso has. If you are a world champion and race winner in various racing disciplines like Alonso. You are among the few and one of the most experienced drivers on the grid. Being around such a personality is a privilege on its own. Now, imagine being in the shoes of Lance Stroll who Alonso has taken under his wing and is using all his years of experience to help him improve. Not only that, Alonso is shattering his “Villian of F1” image while imparting his priceless wisdom to the Canadian.

Ever since joining Aston Martin, the Spaniard has transformed into another person. He is more helpful, more calm, and has gotten his mojo back. Alonso often publicly defends and helps his teammate on and off the track while becoming a perfect teammate. Alonso added to this narrative after the Canadian GP while giving another piece of advice for Stroll, as quoted by SoyMotor.

“Lance has shown speed, commitment, and a willingness to run, which he demonstrated earlier in the year when he did so with a broken hand. This is something that is not seen if you do not have a passion for running,” praised Alonso. (Translated by Google)

However, Stroll’s passion has not translated into results, which is concerning. To overcome this Alonso has one simple piece of advice. “Have regularity weekend after weekend. We have seen many flashes on his part, — things that are exceptional. But then he has other weekends in which the results do not arrive. So I think Lance’s next goal is to get regular top-five finishes,” added the perfect teammate.

F1 expert shatters the conditional “perfect teammate” portrayal from Fernando Alonso

It is no secret that Alonso is a highly competitive driver. The Spaniard has showcased that every step of the way throughout his career. However, how are we seeing a completely changed outlook from Alonso now? Some think it is because Alonso wants to keep the boss happy. However, Peter Windsor has a different school of thought.

Currently, Alonso is comfortably outperforming his teammate week in and week out throughout the weekend. However, if this scenario were to change, Windsor believes we will see a different side of Alonso. He thinks once Alonso starts seeing Stroll as a threat, his attitude toward his teammate will change and, through the window, will go the “perfect teammate” attitude.
