The days of 140,000 fans cheering Fernando Alonso to a home victory in Spain are long gone but the double Formula One world champion returns this weekend firm in the belief he can drive better than ever

The 39-year-old is making his first Spanish Grand Prix appearance since 2018, when he was at then-struggling McLaren, with his comeback a work in progress after three races for Renault-owned Alpine.

Much has been made of top drivers struggling this season after switching teams, let alone returning after two years racing elsewhere, but Alonso suggested that had been exaggerated.“I am at a point in my life where I feel good and I feel capable of driving better than ever but that doesn’t mean you don’t find difficulties while entering a new adventure,” he told a select group of reporters.

“But in Bahrain I was happy and probably over-performing ... we need a couple of races for everything to settle down.” In 2006 more than 130,000, mostly in the blue and yellow of his home region of Asturias and the Renault livery, watched him become the first Spaniard to win at home and collect the trophy from the king.
