People look at his results but they don’t look at the race when they make bottas stop for an extra pit stop jut got get fastest lap then last section tell him not to do fastest lap.

    very surprising comments on Alonso, seeing as him and Kimi have both followed the same timelines to their 40's, fighting against each other all the way back in Schumacher's heyday, and as teammates, all the way to now in the midfield. you'd expect them to have a lot, but Alonso has surprisingly little to say about Kimi now that he's retiring.

      From the vibes I get from the conversation, and specially his first reply ("not much"), I would assume that the two of them were not in good terms. You never know what goes behind curtains but I don't recall Kimi making any special comment about Alonso when he first retired either. Or maybe they never "clicked". This is just my interpretation, but neither Alonso (at least in the old days) nor Kimi are very approachable people, so maybe they clashed a lot back in the teammate days.
