Nico Rosberg has no doubts Fernando Alonso could still challenge for championships in the right car.

Alonso returned to Formula 1 for the 2021 campaign with Alpine, a preparatory year for the team as they look to hit the ground running under the new regulations for 2022.

And should that target be achieved, Alonso will set about chasing a third World Championship in his Formula 1 career.

Following two seasons away from the sport though, there were question marks over Alonso and whether he could rediscover his form of old which saw him become one of Formula 1’s best all-round drivers.
