Part 6/9:
He asserts that Boras’s claims of Alonso seeking at least seven years may be overestimations, especially given Alonso's defensive shortcomings and the current market conditions. The host argues that Boras’s previous assurances didn't materialize into the contracts Alonso sought, and it’s unlikely that a seven-year deal will be offered.
