“I will take Hamilton and see what we do”: Fernando Alonso on taking Lewis Hamilton on a desert island and his cooking abilities

Alpine’s Fernando Alonso shares his love for cooking since his childhood and talks about his relationship with Lewis Hamilton.

The Spaniard was looking to return to the 2007 top form with McLaren after signing in 2015. However, things went horribly for him due to the new Honda engines.

Alonso had to wait for the British Grand Prix to score his first points on his McLaren return. Despite the disappointment, he remained with the team for well over 4 years.

At the start of the 2016 season, Alonso suffered injuries after a heavy crash with Haas’ Esteban Gutierrez. He scored points at the Russian Grand Prix after finishing sixth.

During the season backed by the reliability issues, Alonso still had a positive moral. He sat down with fellow Spaniard Carlos Sainz Jr in a ‘Special Q&A session.’
