Fernando Alonso is happy with the trophies he has won rather than having more that he feels he didn't deserve. The Spaniard is regarded as one of the best drivers of this generation but has only two world championships to his name.
The McLaren driver competed in his 300th grand prix in Canada which ultimately ended in retirement, however he says that he is pleased with what he has achieved in F1.
"I will not be happy if I have many trophies at home and people think that I don't deserve them. That would be even harder.
"Obviously we had some opportunities missed, especially the last three years, with McLaren-Honda, didn't deliver the results we wanted.
"Right now we are in the right direction to go back to the winning path, but we'll see at the end of my career in F1 what we achieve, and what we should achieve.
"But I'm happy and I feel very privileged on everything we did so far.
"There are drivers here that I race against that I see their talent and they have never been even on a podium.
"I see my team-mate now (Stoffel Vandoorne), I see Nico (Hulkenberg), I see Carlos (Sainz Jr) - talented drivers.
"As I said, we missed some opportunities but I'm happy with the things we have done."
