In what was a brilliant 2023 Formula 1 season for Fernando Alonso, the Spaniard recently revealed what he intends on doing once his
Grand Prix days are over.
At the age of 42, Alonso has been one of the most impressive drivers during the 2023 Formula 1 campaign and helped Aston Martin to a fifth place finish on the Constructors championship list.
Currently level on points with Carlos Sainz (200) heading into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this coming weekend, Alonso could finish the season in fourth place in the Drivers standings.

The former Ferrari driver had four podium finishes this season and held second position in Canada, Monaco, Miami and Saudi Arabia.
In other notable races in which he rolled back the years in the current campaign, Alonso managed to bag 4
th place finishes in Brazil, Qatar and Australia.
Now though, the racing veteran recently mentioned that he intends on winning the Dakar rally when he leaves formula 1 and believes that winning the gruelling race would ‘complete’ him.

“When I retire from Formula 1, I would love to return to the Dakar,” Alonso told GQ Spain.
“Trying to win the Dakar Rally is a clear goal in my mind. It would complete me, make me happy and I think it would leave an almost unprecedented legacy.
“Winning in Formula 1, Endurance and rallying would complete the perfect circle of a racing driver“.
