In preparation for Fernando Alonso's retirement, Auto Motor und Sport asked Carlos Sainz what it would mean for Spain and F1 should he announce that he is leaving F1. Sainz, also Spanish, replied with a very honest and firm answer prior to the Summer break.

I had asked @Carlossainz55 in an AMuS Interview before the summer break what it would mean for Spain and for Formula 1 if Fernando Alonso decides to leave F1 at the end of the season. This was his answer... #Alonso @alo_oficial #F1
