What they're saying

"
Fernando Alonso turns 45 today and few drivers have defied the passage of time quite like the two-time Formula 1 world champion. The Spaniard was 25 when he won the last of his drivers' championships and although he competed for more titles over the following decade, it feels like a long time since he had a car that rewards his excellent driving ability.
