The latest episode of The Autosport Podcast dives into Fernando Alonso’s decision not to race in Formula 1 next season and the wide-ranging consequences of the call.
Autosport’s Andrew van de Burgt and Scott Mitchell join Edd Straw to discuss what Alonso will do next, what his exit means for McLaren and F1, and who should replace the two-time world champion in 2019.
As well as looking to the future, we examine just why Alonso will call time – for now, at least – on a career that includes 32 grand prix wins.
The discussion also covers the cases of ‘what might have been’ for Alonso, and the role he played in the wrong calls that mean history will not quite do his ability justice.
