In 2022, there will be some rule changes in Formula 1 that could bring about big changes for teams and drivers. According to Fernando Alonso, his experience in the sport is not going to help that much, but it will be more about hard work.

The Alpine driver believes that performance is not the only thing that matters anymore, but that the work done during the winter and especially in the simulator in preparation for the test days will be crucial for the new season.

"I am convinced that it will depend more on the performance of our car and the work we do in the simulator and during the winter test days. If, after three or four races, we have all made the most of the car and the regulations are sufficient for a fair comparison, it will be the performance of the car that dictates the results, as is the case today. In terms of the adjustment, I don't think there will be a big difference,' the Spaniard told Autosprint.

Hard work will be important

So the 40-year-old driver admits that he assumes that not a lot will change. "It's just a matter of working hard, or even harder than any other winter because we will have to spend some more time in the simulator and together with the team," said the Alpine driver.

Looks like lazy mother......ers like Moanalot will have to forget meeting up with his bent fashion "friends" and start working properly over the winter if he wants to stand a chance against Russell. Everybody knows Russell loves sim work and racing online and will be more prepared than Paperboy come March 2022. I can't wait for all the fools to disappear from these websites once Lulu gets whipped over and over again by most of the grid.

In a work environment, when an oldie proudly tells his junior collegue that he has ‘30 years experience’ in the job, really means he has one year of learning the job and the next 29 years of doing the same thing without trying to improve himself, otherwise she would not still be stuck in the same position for so many years!

No experience gained without hard work. Alonso nails it, as usual.
