The two-time F1 world champion sustained a fracture of his upper jaw ൲in a pre-season crash while ཧtraining on his bicycle ahead of his comeback season in February this year. 

Speaking to select media including ltxcn.top after wrapping up post-season tyre testing dutie❀s for Alpine, Alonso confirmed that he will have another operation in January to have his titanium plates removed. 🎃;

“I’m closer than 10 months ago,” Al෴onso replied whe🐭n asked how close he was to performing at his peak. 

“Dif𝔍ficult to know the limit and where we could get next year. I think we need a good winter, that’s for sure, I need to be prepared, to get ready a little bit better than last year; the cycle accident in February didn’t help. 

“This January I will have to remove th𝓰e plates from [my] face so I will have two weeks in January off but probably I had those weeks anyway without the surgery as it’s just time to relax.

“But after 🎐that we need to go into winter testing with a good programme physically, and also in the car, and get ready. And if the car is competitive, I’m sure I will be at 100 per cent.”

Following a two-year hiatus from F1🧜, the 40-year-old Spaniard ended his first season back in the sport 10th in the championship. Alonso scored a total o❀f 81 points and claimed his first podium since 2014 at the Qatar Grand Prix. 

“There’s always a few things we are still not on top of, the problems, but everyone will have a different opinion and that’s why we have differe🌜nt roles in the team,” he admitted. 

“I’m a driver, I try and drive as fast as I can, obviously with experience and working for different teams I could see some things that we were weak, other areas 𝄹we were very strong, and ꦯyou try always to make the team stronger and stronger and more prepared into 2022.

“I think we are in a better shape now than where we were in Ma♌rch, in Bahrain, but still a few things we have to fix.

“But more 𝔉important is if the car is fast in February 𝓀and that is an unknown situation for everybody.”
