'Alonso can win a third world title before retiring'
General
Fernando Alonso will not regret his switch from Alpine to Aston Martin for a moment. The Spaniard managed to take to the podium in four of the first five races, and may be looking for his first win since 2013 in Monaco. According to his former teammate Giancarlo Fisichella, a third title may even be in the cards for the two-time World Champion before he retires.
Currently, the 41-year-old driver is third in the championship, behind Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. The Spaniard has 75 points, which also makes him a very big share for Aston Martin in the Constructors' Championship. In fact, the Silverstone-based team is currently second.
'He is getting older, but also faster'
Fisichella even thinks the Spaniard can win another world title, he told Sky Sports: "I think Fernando, with a good car, can win another championship. Fernando Alonso is getting older but getting quicker - I don't know how he can do it! Fernando was my team-mate in 2005 and 2006. We won the drivers' and constructors' championships together for Renault. It was fantastic to work with him."
