Formula 1 | McLaren, Boullier: “Alonso at Le Mans? He has all my support”

In an interview given to the columns of “L'Equipe”, Eric Boullier spoke about Fernando Alonso's recent announcement, who, to everyone's amazement, decided to tackle the next FIA World Endurance Championship with Toyota. According to the French, lor Spanish will be able to carry out both projects, without penalizing their commitment to Formula One. Boullier underlined how the former Ferrari "viscerally" loves racing and this double commitment It will allow him to keep his concentration high for the entire duration of the next competitive season.

Here are the words of Eric Boullier: "Personally I support Fernando and his decision to race at Le Mans. We are in an era where it is difficult to train and therefore focusing on other categories can be a way to keep fit. Fernando is a professional sportsman and for him it won't be a problem to face two championships at the same time. Furthermore, this will allow him to always stay on track, avoiding distractions. Last year he completed thirty-four weekends, competing in karting and other series where he was involved. He loves to run and that's what he likes to do. He will be able to combine the two projects without any kind of problem."
