Fernando Alonso has cited the response to a recent video he posted to once again claim today's Formula 1 product is too predictable and needs revitalising.

The Spaniard reflected on his memories of Suzuka by uploading perhaps his most famous moment of passing Michael Schumacher at 130R during the 2005 race on Instagram, something which drew a lot of reactions from fans.

"I received 3000 comments of ‘this is the Formula 1 I fell in love with and not the thing you have now’, so it’s not me being critical of this F1, it’s the whole world," he said ahead of the United States GP.

“One of the top six cars can start last in every race and will finish in the top six and lap the seventh car with whatever guy you put in.

“We miss the noise of the V10, the V8, we miss the creativity on the strategy, the different fuel loads, the tyre competition, so you go into Sunday with some unpredictable feeling of what is going to happen.”

Alonso has cited the inability for smaller teams to challenge the dominance of the top three as one of the reasons why he is retiring at the end of the year and was certainly a critic of the high-degrading Pirelli tyres which saw drivers unable to attack during races.

Even so, as he counts down the events until Abu Dhabi, he insists competing in F1 still gives him joy.

“Every race now, from the moment I decided to stop, is just a celebration,” said the McLaren driver. “I can’t wait to go to Austin now and see the place again, drive around in the cars.

“Maybe we’re not the fastest when you see the times at the end of the session, but every lap feels fantastic.

“It’s not that I don’t love F1 anymore, I still love these cars, but if I stop now it’s because I’m 37 years old and achieved all my dreams in F1.”
