Fernando Alonso says some 'surprising' medical test results this winter have left him open to the possibility that he could race on in Formula 1 until he is 50.
The Spaniard, who is currently 42, has already defied doubters who reckoned that F1 drivers would be long past their prime once they were out of their thirties. Now, as he ponders his next steps in F1 with his current Aston Martin contract coming to an end later this year, the two-time world champion says a change of diet and a new approach to fitness has led him to conclude that he has a lot of racing left in him.
'I have trained more calmly, although it is true that last year the season ended earlier than usual, and I had more time to train, but it has been a winter with much more time for me than I had before. 'I always had something to do during the winter, either I had publicity events or I changed teams and we had to do things at the factory. This time I have had time for myself, to drive other cars, and that has helped me to come into this pre-season in the best shape of my life.
