Fernando Alonso made his comeback to the sport with Alpine in the 2021 season. The two-time world champion left the sport in 2018 after enduring four frustrating seasons with McLaren.

During the tail-end of his time with the British team, Alonso became popular for his fan and off-track interactions. The two-time world champion was often seen having some fun with the fans. He continued his easy-going and light-hearted fan encounters with the French team.

Recently, a fan took to social media to share his experience of meeting the former world champion in a rather interesting location. A fan clicked a picture with the Alpine driver in the washroom and proudly posted it. The fans on Twitter had a field day while reacting to the tweet and the picture.

We just need a competitive package out of the factories: Fernando Alonso

As reported by GPFans, the two-time world champion is hoping for big things from the French outfit in the 2022 season. Alonso pointed out things that he wants Alpine to work on in the upcoming season.

“More power on the straights and more downforce in the corner. That is what we are aiming for, all drivers. The trackside is quite strong now. We saw [last year] we scored, both cars in a race where we maybe didn’t have the pace to score with both cars, so we are strong in many areas,” said Alonso.

“We just need a competitive package out of the factories in Enstone and Viry. We have been working for several months and we have high hopes, but let’s see,” said the Alpine driver.

It would be amazing to see Alonso back at the front fighting for wins and championships. But he and the team have to keep their expectations modest going into the 2022 season despite their El Plan. Let’s wait and see if Alpine can deliver a more competitive package from the off at the start of the next season.
