FERNANDO ALONSO edged closer his Formula One return after getting behind the wheel of Renault’s current F1 car. The Spaniard is rejoining the team for the 2021 season after a break of two years since he quit McLaren. Alonso, who last drove a Renault F1 car in 2009, said: “It felt amazing to be able to drive these cars after two years and feel the speed again, how everything comes so fast, corner after corner. I remember the year 2000, I drove the Benetton here with the Enstone guys. “Now, in 2020, it’s with Renault, so it’s a special track and I have lots of good memories here.
