  Chinanews.com client Beijing, May 30 (Wang Hao) As Renault team leader Abitoble stated that he will not determine the driver's lineup next season before the start of the new season, the topic of Alonso's return to F1 seems to be put on hold for the time being . The former world champion who retired for more than a year may return, evoking nostalgia for many fans. But in fact, in the F1 paddock, it is not so warm.

  Beijing time on the 14th, Renault team announced that after the 2020 season, the driver will leave the team. This means that in the 2021 season, Renault will have a vacant driver seat. The news that "Alonso will return to Renault" appears in this situation.

  Foreign media reported that Renault has signed a preliminary contract with Alonso. However, with Abitoble's position, it may take a while for Alonso to return to Renault.

  However, on social media, Alonso and Renault have reconnected, which has made many fans feel excited. Although things are right and wrong, it may be that Renault Blue that ended the "Ferrari Era" is too memorable, and many people are still happy to see this long-lasting reunion drama.

  People recall the golden age of F1 and the moving stories between drivers and teams. Obviously, the times filter will always beautify a lot of memories. In the F1 paddock, there have been warmth, but there have been times when I haven't known how many times.

  Alonso's two driver championships during his career were won during Renault, but after winning his first driver championship in the 2005 season, he decided to switch to McLaren a year later before the start of the 2006 season. As a result, the 2006 season became his "last dance" with Renault, but fortunately he successfully defended his title in the 2006 season.

  However, it is easy to overlook that in the final stage of the season, which is also a crucial period for the championship of the driver, Alonso complained in an interview that he felt that he was "hanged aside" by the team in several games this season. Fisichella and his competition are dangerous for the championship.

  In his subsequent career, Alonso has moved to McLaren, Renault, and Ferrari. At the end of his career, he returned to McLaren and retired there in 2018.

  Regarding the rumor of the return, some people interpreted it from different aspects. According to media reports, affected by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, Renault ’s business crisis has deepened and it may face bankruptcy. So some people think that Alonso's return is to "pull sponsorship".

  In fact, since the end of the "Schumacher era", F1 has experienced a period of hegemony. The competition among drivers such as Alonso, Raikkonen, Vettel and Hamilton is extremely fierce, and the flow of drivers is relatively frequent. Such subtle stories are not uncommon. It is rare for Schumacher and Ferrari to be tightly tied together until Hamilton and Mercedes rule.

  The consequence of frequent driver movements is tit-for-tat opponents last season, and they may become teammates next season. However, teammates may not necessarily be "opposite."

  The characteristics of F1 events are like track and field or short track speed skating. Two players from each team calculate their personal results. There is competition on the field, and they can also cooperate with each other. However, other projects at the moment will not be like F1, the team will blatantly ask one driver to give way to the other driver.

  This approach may be based on overall considerations, but from the perspective of each driver, it is inevitable that there will be contradictions. This contradiction can easily affect the results unless it has the dominance of the Mercedes team.

  At the beginning of the 2014 season, Hamilton and Rosberg in the Mercedes team began to "pinch each other." The two collided at the Belgian station, causing Hamilton to retire. In the following seasons, similar scenes were frequently staged.

  In the 2016 season, they collided again during the Spanish start and eventually retired. Since then, at the Canadian and Austrian stations, the two have had multiple frictions on the track. As teammates, they "win like opponents." This battle did not end until Rosberg announced his retirement.

  This is not an example. Vettel and Weber in the Red Bull era, Schumacher and Montoya in the Williams team, Hamilton and Alonso in the McLaren era, etc. have all been involved in the "infighting" public opinion swirl.

Ferrari team driver Vettel came to the scene to interact with fans.

  In such disputes, the team will inevitably be at odds with each other, so that the conflict eventually affects the team, and even the development of two drivers are dissatisfied with the team.

  The most recent example is the Ferrari drivers Vettel and Leclerc last season. Leclerc did not help Vettel "pull the tail" as planned in the Italian race, while Vettel continued in the Russian race. Twice refused to give orders to Leclerc's team.

  Ferrari fans may miss the days when Schumacher and Barrichello had a clear division of labor. They will not affect the team's strategy because of the dispute.

  For example, in the 2002 Austrian race, Barrichello led all the way from the pole position, but slowed down before the finish and "handed" the champion to Schumacher. This behavior has caused great controversy, and years later, there were media reports that Barrichello received a threat of similar dismissal in the fleet instruction received at that time.

  It can be seen that under the surface of harmony, reality may not be so beautiful. But when people miss that era, apart from the scenery of Ferrari, there is probably little detail about the cause and effect behind it. Perhaps this is the era filter of F1.

  Will Alonso return to Renault? It's still unknown, and news of Renault's intentions for other drivers is also destined to spread. Audiences have too much expectations to understand, but they should also remain sober-within the F1 paddock, business is always business. (Finish)
