Is a teacher. So clear. A racing master. Be dry, be in water. They are as they are. Come as they come. yes, like that It’s Fernando Alonso. This is what a driver is like, a champion, a double Formula 1 world champion, who in Monaco he gave a real lesson. One of knowing how to be. One for piloting. One that took him directly to second place in the toughest Grand Prix of the year.
Because wow how everything turned out in Monaco. Because how everything changed. Because How did you know that something like this could happen? Yes. Clouds. Dark clouds. very dark One of those that make you look at the sky apart from the asphalt. One of those that make what is decided in the garages, in the strategy, have equal or more importance than what is done with the steering wheel.
In the second, everything is correct. It is a guarantee to have a pilot like Alonso. Because Alonso hardly makes mistakes. Because he is one of those who know that whatever happens, he is not only going to measure up, but he is the one who is going to measure up. Yes, it’s that simple. That easy.
He did what he had to: something different
Or, rather, it’s that simple and that easy it does. This is how there is nothing to worry about if you take the exit with hard with Verstappen and Ocon with means. Disadvantage? Nothing further. He is clear. to hold on Let’s see if water falls. Let’s see if like this, doing something different, it can be.
If that’s how 33 can arrive. Doing what Verstappen did, if Verstappen doesn’t fail, impossible. And yes, he wanted a smooth run, but he was prepared for it if it wasn’t. In Aston Martin too. That’s why the hard ones. That’s why to wait. About holding on Seeing if Max changed tires first… and then the water started.
The water started, but before max passed to change some tires that shook with a message from Alonso. A prick? Yes, that’s what he said on the radio. But no, there weren’t any. His times, fast. Very fast. Ocon, meanwhile, little train with Carlos Sainz after him desperate and pissed off with Ferrari.
The decision at Aston Martin…
For the stop. One that Aston Martin also missed. It was already raining. It rained a lot. And each time it went further. “Box, box,” said Fernando. And there it was, to the pit lane. But for some reason, yellow rubber. wrong rubber. Rubber that was worthless. After a while, again. intermediates. Yes, then yes… and Good thing it had a free stop.
Second was. Second came out. Ocon, 4 seconds away. In a few laps he was already more than ten. And Verstappen, leading. No opposition. With no one around and for some reason taking risks. Who knows what would have happened if he had Alonso behind him. To know what would have happened of not having made two stops Fernando.
But the error did not cost position. It did not cost a second place that makes the Alonso project in Aston Martin continue to advance. Keep going forward. Because there are five podiums in six races, with four third and, finally, a second.
Next stop: Barcelona
The following is clear what should be. Third, second… and yes, it’s time to win. Touch 33. Touch a new victory. The next stop will be Spain. It will be Barcelona. Yes, at home, a good place to… Exactly. The 33.
