"It was like tossing a coin and seeing how I could enjoy what's a really different car. It was a positive experience that I'm sure I'll do again in the future." "(But) I think that my next challenge will be a top-level one because I still think that I'm at 100 percent to go out and do it," he added. Alonso, 38, has been strongly linked with a return to Renault after it was announced last week that Daniel Ricciardo was leaving the team for McLaren in 2021.



Flavio Briatore, Alonso's long-time adviser and former Renault team boss, said he believes the Spaniard is ready to make a comeback. "Fernando is motivated. A year out of Formula One has done him good. He has detoxed himself and I see him calmer and ready to return," Briatore told Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport.
