Alonso confident as performances hit ‘better than ever’ level

"Better than ever," Alonso said in Singapore when asked if he is performing at his best.”

He continued: "I think so. I think last year and this year, probably the car is not where we see in the standings.

20 years ago, Alonso won his first ever Formula 1 world championship. The Spaniard thinks that he is performing better now.

"That's why I'm relaxed, I'm happy, I'm enjoying and I'm confident for next year," he concluded.

Although Alonso initially finished eighth, he moved up a position following Lewis Hamilton’s five-second penalty for cutting corners.

The incident drew interesting reactions from both drivers. Over the team radio, the Spaniard was clearly not happy with Hamilton cutting corners having brake issues.

“I cannot f****** believe it. Is it safe to drive with no brakes?” he commented.

On Monday, the British driver also shared a story on Instagram, reflecting on Alonso's comment.
