This podcast is a conversation with Dominic Hale, project lead at Alpine, where we talk about Fernando Alonso driving a Formula One car at Le Mans in 2021. 

I wanted to know if Fernando Alonso was really pushing, how they adapted the car for such an unusually long and fast circuit, and what was the lap time—would it be quicker than LMP1s or Hypercars? The team also shared the lap time data with me - and it’s fascinating. The team were very well prepared - they’d run many simulations and had engineered the car to be as fast as possible on this incredible circuit.
