Fernando Alonso will become the first driver in Formula 1 history
to compete in 400 Grands Prix when he races in Mexico this
weekend.

It’s a monumental milestone that even Alonso didn’t think he’d
reach. Hear why the two-time World Champion thought he’d leave F1
at the end of 2009 and how changes in his relationship with the
sport have prolonged his career.

Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Fernando reflects on the most poignant
moments from an eventful 21 seasons on the grid - revealing
fascinating details about his secret meetings with Red Bull,
whether he regrets turning them down for Ferrari, the one race he
tried to win the most and why he needed reassurance during his
comeback in 2021.

Plus, the Spaniard talks about the impact Adrian Newey will have
on Aston Martin and how the legendary designer’s arrival at the
team affects his own future.
