Alonso is a racer though and through, passing Kenin Magnesen on the last lap showed me he deserves to win Indy, after Monaco, and Le Mans.

The only real selection is former World Driving Champion, Jenson Button. The reasons are numerous but both he and Lewis Hamilton are racers from the “old” school, they, the team and the fans will have a great time in trying to win the Constructors Championship in 2017 and for Mercedes that should be their focus.
