Fernando Alonso is considering his future in the sport of F1 after Sunday’s Le Mans victory.

Alonso admits that he wants to see what the future of Formula One could potentially look like before making any final decisions.

The Spaniard’s victory on Sunday meant that he’s now completed two thirds of the ‘triple crown’ and just needs an Indy 500 win in order to achieve it.

“I will make my mind up after the summer what I will do next year,” Alonso confirmed.

“But after winning Le Mans, Indy comes into play with a high priority.

“Let’s see if it is next year or the following year. Let’s see what the future of F1 will be.

“I attempted the Indy 500 last year with that intention and we were leading the race and close to winning but we missed the opportunity.

“Here we were leading the race and I was worried about missing the opportunity again but here we achieved it.

“It’s definitely a very attractive target to try for the ‘triple crown’ and see if I can be a better driver, a more complete driver.”

Alonso added that being in an F1 team means he cannot improve as a driver.

“Being in F1 you just follow your team performance and if your team is first you’ll be first or second and if your team is third you will be fifth or sixth.

“To be a better driver, a more complete driver, you need to win in every series against the specialists of those series.”
