For now, the Spanish driver is only concentrating on Formula 1, but he also has plans for his future.
Two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso is already over 42 years old, but he is still in perfect physical condition, so it is no wonder that he is also thinking about his career after F1.
Speaking to the website of his current team, Aston Martin Racing, the Spanish driver revealed that he has very serious plans for his career after Formula 1.
“There are always goals to be achieved, but for now I am focusing on Formula 1. Obviously, it would be fantastic if they could be world champions again, with Aston Martin. I think this would be my career, but it might be the highlight of my whole life,” said Alonso, a bit emotional, who also touched on what he would like to do after his top-class career.
“The Dakar victory is also on the list, and of course the Indy 500, but I think that I have very few chances left for the latter. But I can still do the Dakar, and then I would achieve something that is unprecedented in the history of motor sports: I would be a Formula 1 world champion, a Le Mans winner and a Dakar winner,” said Alonso.

The F1 championship title, the 24 Hours of Le Mans victory and the Indy 500 victory are the holy trinity of motor sports, i.e. the Triple Crown, which so far only one person, the two-time Formula 1 world champion (1962, 1968) Graham Hill has known to do it.
