Fernando Alonso recently turned forty, but has regained his old form. Nico Rosberg says he is enjoying the Spaniard's performances on track.

Alonso himself referred to his age as "just a number in my passport." While he was written off by some at the start of the Formula One season, he has now overtaken teammate Esteban Ocon in the championship and appears to be back in form.

Rosberg is looking forward to it all. "It really is pure pleasure to watch Fernando. He drives with the vigour of a young driver," said the Sky Sports analyst.

Alonso will once again start in the top ten at the Hungarian Grand Prix. He qualified ninth, just behind Ocon, who managed to qualify ahead of his teammate for the first time in several weekends.
