Alonso has a "clear idea" of his next step... And it won't be F1
F1 News
Fernando Alonso says that he knows what his next challenge in motorsport will be, and adds that there are options outside of Formula 1 that are much more attractive for him.
There has been so much speculation over where Alonso will end up, having spent time in the World Endurance Championship, along with a second unsuccessful attempt at the Indy 500.
During the launch of the eSports 'Liberbank Challenge', the Spaniard said: "In recent years, what F1 can offer me on a personal level is not attractive enough.
“It was an exceptional stage for me, but today I do not find in F1 the challenges I can get outside it.
"I have a clear idea of what I am going to do, I do not leave doors open and I am not waiting or looking for anyone to call me.
"I always chose where and when I wanted to race, because I move based on what makes me happy. What I do in the future is in my head and it will be known in due time.”
There have been whispers that the two time F1 champion will take on the Dakar Rally, but he seems to have distanced himself from that option, adding: "It's an attractive event, the most important, but also opposite to my qualities or way of driving.
“I've never competed on gravel and attempting the toughest rally in the world suddenly would be something extreme."
