We talk about him being the most complete driver on the grid but I’m not sure anymore. If you look at all the greats, Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton, they all made key career defining decisions at the right time which turned out to be correct. That in itself is a skill and sense a driver must have. It’s a skill Alonso definitely lacks. It’s part of being a racing driver to make those key decisions and his decision making has been disastrous, along with his internal team politics for his career.
There’s no doubting his skill inside the cockpit but, to be a complete driver, you need to be able to manage the political aspect well. Schumacher had that in abundance, so does Hamilton. Alonso not so much. From my point of view, this skill is just as important as any when evaluating the most complete driver on the grid.
Anyway, I have my doubts he will be on the grid for 2019.
