I think you are asking me if I think Alonso will be better this time around....
I'm certain he has given up some speed. It's natural as you get older, your vision degrades and your reflexes slow down a little and thus your speed goes.
I do believe he will still be able to get a lot out of the car. Whatever car he is in.
As far as attitude, who knows. I'd like to think he's gotten better, but I won't hold out any hopes. But I do think the attitude/arrogance that some of these guys have comes with the territory. Not all of them. One of my fondest memories was of Brian Redman and how at the end of the day he'd come over and talk with me about how my day went and if there was anything I needed and thank me for my contribution. But I digress.....
As fast as Alonso is/was I think his biggest asset is communicating what the car is doing to the team and what can be done to make it faster.
