Hi everyone Tom Clarkson here.

Now Mexico Marks and historic milestone for a certain two-time world champion, who will become

the first Formula One driver to compete in 400 Grand Prix.

When I spoke to FANANNA Alonso for this week's F1 Beyond the Grid and asked him how he'd approach a game of paddle with me,

it became very clear the Spaniard still has a ruthless winning mentality in all areas of life.

Everything I do is just maximum pain for my rivals.

And sometimes, you know, I have to accept that, you know, I cannot win, but then I will

put you in a list of people that I will not play paddle for the next months until I know

for sure that I improve my level or if I cannot achieve that I will never play against you again ever

because I hate losing

I don't think I'll be playing paddle with Fernando anytime soon, but it was

fascinating to catch up with him because he's incredibly honest and reflective as

he shares some gripping insight into the most significant moments of his career so far.

So that's F1B on the grid with Fernando Alonso this Wednesday.
