Eddie Jordan believes Fernando Alonso could have had more world titles to his name had he not 'chased the money' in his F1 contracts. FernandoAlonso F1 Formula1
Fernando Alonso is back near the forefront of Formula 1 this season, having switched from Alpine to Aston Martin for 2023 – a well-timed move as the Silverstone-based squad have one of the quickest cars on the grid.
Having won two world titles with Renault in 2005 and 2006, his move to McLaren resulted in acrimony as he fell out with team management during 2007, triggering a return to Renault before switching to Ferrari in 2010. But the move proved ill-fated, with the Alonso/McLaren partnership failing to ignite as the Spaniard grew frustrated with the team, and Honda’s, lack of performance and reliability. It led Alonso to quit F1 for two years before returning with Renault/Alpine for 2021.podcast with F1 race winner David Coulthard, former team boss Eddie Jordan said Alonso’s chase of lucrative contracts resulted in his lack of world titles.
“He went to teams where he was getting more money than what he would have got in another team that probably had a better chance of him winning the world title.
