Alonso: I hate to lose - I always will.

      Today on the streaming platform DAZN premiered a two-part documentary dedicated to Fernando Alonso - a detailed story about the sports biography of the two-time world champion and his achievements. Alonso is talked about in the movie by many people who have known him for a long time and well: Pedro de la Rosa, Tony Cucerella (former chief engineer at Ferrari), Rob Smedley (former Formula 1 technical advisor), Paul Monaghan (chief engineer at Red Bull Racing), Mike Crack and others. And here's what Alonso himself says about himself in the movie: "Everyone knows me as a driver, but very few know me as Fernando. And I want to keep it that way, because each of us has its own private life, habits and preferences, his sense of humor, and all this is very personal ... My strong professional sides I consider the ability to start effectively, to achieve results in conditions of pressure and the ability to squeeze the maximum out of any machine, regardless of whether it is good or not. Although I've been racing for almost 40 years, I still have a lot to learn... When I started this sport as a kid, I had the only kart and one set of tires, and it rains a lot in Asturias. When it started to rain, all the guys put rain tires on their karts and I kept racing on slicks because we didn't have money for rain tires. In a way, something like that is happening nowadays. All teams have the resources for rain tires, but Aston Martin doesn't have wings like Ferrari or a bottom like McLaren - the list goes on. This movie is the story of my life and it's about this: I had to fight with weapons that were inferior to what others had, but I tried to adapt... Even now, if I go to the karting track and see that I'm only second and I'm one tenth or half a tenth behind the leader, I feel the same anger and I'm as frustrated as I was more than twenty years ago. I get so angry that I may not even be able to eat dinner on a night like that. I hate losing, no matter how hard I have to work - and I always will.
