Jean Alesi sits in the driver camp of Montreal and talks shop with Niki Lauda. The winner of the Grand Prix of Canada of 1995 plotted a plan, which sounds moved. “I ride along next year with the Indy 500”, quit the Frenchman on the day its to 47. Birthday on. Lauda vibrates only the head: “Do you want to look as I times in such a way?” and points to his burns in the face.
Alesi laughs only: “I know, on which I me inlet. That is my last chance to participate again in large running. I drove formula 1 into Monte Carlo, I participated at the 24 hours from Le Mans, now am missing to me only Indy. At my age I must slam shut. That is my last chance.”
Indy 500 as career highlight
Alesi does not bear it at home. “I must again in the running car. What remains for me there still? For the formula 1 I am too old. The GT-cars are too slow me. The DTM is a final chapter. The Indy 500 would once again be a large highlight for me.”

Alesi was concerned already with the utmost care with the topic Indy. “I looked at myself complete training and a running at the television and belonged to me the comments of the drivers. Most complain about the fact that their car overrides. Thus I do not have a problem.” Alesi sought also advice with its old buddy Gerhard Berger. “That warned me: Is careful, your style of driving fits not the Rennerei in the oval.” The Frenchman returned stubbornly: “I will already learn that.”
With 48 years ripely for Indianapolis
The accidents in the most famous noodle pot of the world do not deter Alesi. “Indy became many safer. That is not comparable any longer with in former times. I will work twelve months on this goal.” With then soon 48 years Alesi in the next year in the best Indy age will be. The oldest winner in the 100 year old history 500 of the mile running was Al our senior. On the day of his fourth victory was old our 47 years and 360 days. “”, Grinst Alesi fits. “I will be in one year approximately of the same age.”
