Fernando Alonso had a poor comeback in Formula 1 this season. Facing issues with the brake duct, he quit from the Bahrain Grand Prix. However, the Spaniard was found cycling ahead of his upcoming race, coming back to form.
Alonso and his cycling hobby raised quite a heat early this year after an accident. The 39-year-old collided with a car during his cycling session in Switzerland and underwent surgery for an upper jaw fracture.
Recently, the Alpine driver again went out with his cycle to stay positive for the upcoming race in Italy. Alonso further uploaded the snap of the cycling track on his Twitter captioning, “Good weekend everyone.”

However, the Oviedo-born couldn’t make a remarkable return, as the issues with his brakes forced him to early retirement from the season-opener. After the race, Alonso reported debris got into the brake ducts, which malfunctioned his A521. But later on, the French constructor revealed it was not debris instead was a sandwich wrapper.
