In addition, Alonso explained how his future team boss Cyrul Abiteboul has been ignoring his messages. Talking to AutoHebdo, he said: "Coincidentally, I sent him three messages half an hour ago. He has read them, but hasn't responded yet. I'm sure he's getting tired of me, because he's not responding to my messages."

“People seem surprised every time they hear that about me, but that's the way I've always been. In my time at McLaren, everyone was surprised how excited I was about Honda, and they thought I looked happier than I did at Ferrari. But they also noticed my enthusiasm at Ferrari."

He continued: "I've always been the same, but some people don't find out until they've worked with me. I have always been determined to return to Formula 1," said the two-time world champion.
