Iconic figure of Formula 1, Fernando Alonso continues to fascinate, both for his talent and for his resilience in the face of obstacles. In “Decoded, a new documentary broadcast on DAZN, the double Spanish world champion looks back on the defining moments of his career and shares an introspective vision of his personality. He explains how, from his beginnings in karting in Asturias under financial conditions modest, he learned to demonstrate adaptability and perseverance. When it rained, all the kids wore rain tires, but I ran with dry tires because we couldn't afford new ones. “, he says. This ability to adapt, according to him, became the common thread of his career, where he often fought with cars less competitive than those of his rivals.
A winning character
Alonso also shares a more personal side of his character, revealing his visceral disdain for defeat, regardless of the scale of competition. “ Even today, after twenty-some years, if I go to a karting circuit and I see myself on the time sheets and I'm second, a tenth or a half-tenth from first, I have the same inner rage, same frustration, same anger and I might not even eat dinner that night. I don't like to lose anything and no matter how hard I work, frustration will always be To be. “, he admits. But behind this rage to win lies a meticulous pilot who, at 42, continues to push the physical and mental limits of his profession. He attributes his current excellent condition to a redesigned diet, particularly with a vegetarian approach, and to rigorous life discipline.
