F1 News
Fernando Alonso feels that the era of Mercedes dominance is coming to an end.
Alonso has taken some time away from the sport to try and complete the triple crown. It has been widely reported that after this year out, the Spaniard could return to Formula 1 in a bid to win his third World Title.
The two-time World Champion has come out and said that he will be keeping a close eye on Formula 1 and it is likely that he will be involved in testing for McLaren.
When speaking to crash.net Alonso said, "I'm curious to see if the Mercedes cycle will end. I feel that the moment is near.”
It is likely that if Mercedes are not dominant in 2019, an Alonso comeback would be more likely. It it is thought that only McLaren or Renault would be likely to sign Alonso so the success of these two teams will also be critical.
