Alonso doesn't miss the old Hockenheimring

A lot of pundits and former F1 drivers talk about how good the old Hockenheim track used to be and how much better it was, but Fernando Alonso isn’t one that agrees. The track used to be one of the longest on the calendar but was dramatically reduced for the 2002 Grand Prix.

The long straights and the forest part was removed. Some key historical F1 areas, but Alonso doesn’t miss them. In fact, he claims the track has improved.

“It was different, I don’t know that it was better or worse. It’s difficult to judge, the races were a long time ago,” Alonso said in an interview on race fans.

Just Kimi Raikkonen joins Alonso as being the only drivers to race on the old style circuit in the current driver line-up.
