Play F1 | Two titles 'not enough' for Alonso

Fernando Alonso has revealed he will not be content to retire from Formula One with his current title of double world champion.

Alonso ended the Michael Schumacher era of domination by winning titles in 2005 and 2006 but, despite falling agonisingly short in 2007, 2010 and 2012, has failed to add to that since. His move to Ferrari has so far failed to give him the third title he desires and Alonso insisted this has kept him “hungry for success” despite the team’s slow start in 2014.

“I never thought to become Formula 1 driver, I never thought to win one Grand Prix so I was not sure I could win two championships,” Alonso told CNN’s ‘The Circuit’, in an interview to be broadcast on April 19. “I’m extremely proud and extremely happy with my career. If you ask me right now and I am in a middle of a competition, I am hungry for victories, hungry for success and I will tell you that two championships are not enough.”
