Fernando Alonso is an F1 all-time great – Jolyon Palmer

Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer says Fernando Alonso is one of Formula 1’s greatest drivers.

The Spanish two-time world champion has announced he is to retire from the sport at the end of the season.

Palmer describes the 37-year-old McLaren man as a “consistent, complete driver” and says Alonso will become a “legend” if he manages to win the Indy 500 and complete the Motorsport Triple Crown.
