Alonso joked that he doesn't give free consultations.

      We have already quoted Lewis Hamilton, who advised Max Verstappen to move to Mercedes. When Fernando Alonso was asked if he recommends that the Red Bull Racing driver change teams, Fernando joked in response.

      Fernando Alonso: "No, no advice from me. I can, of course, be a consultant, but he would have to pay very handsomely for my services! For now – no advice."

      When asked about Aston Martin's prospects for the next season, Alonso said: "We all know that big opportunities are opening up next year. Not only for Aston Martin, but for other teams that want to become leaders.

      Next year will see a new regulation, and we all want to be in a position that allows us to compete for high results. So I see the next season as an opportunity."
