the radius of Fernando Alonso when Carlos Sainz he played in Australia shows that he has everything under control. “They should return the positions because we have not completed a lap, that’s how it was in Silverstone… check it out!“, said the Asturian to his people on the radio.
No sooner said than done. That’s how it went. The FIA returned him to third position and the Grand Prix ended there. One more from Alonso, who also used to watch the race on the screens while he was driving his Aston Martin.
damon hillF1 champion in 1996, believes that with all these ingredients Alonso should be team leader on leaving his role as driver: “He has to become a team manager, because he would be brilliant. He just understands this game.”
In the official podcast of the competition, Hill jokes that Alonso “gets bored” driving: “It’s boring to drive the car, he needs to do something else. He goes from one place to another saying: ‘Can I do the strategy too? Give me more information.'”
“He already understands the rules. You would expect someone who has been in Formula 1 as long as he has and had all the experiences to have learned something, but you can’t automatically assume that,” he explains.
and compares it with Michael Schumacheranother of the great strategists that the competition has had: “He has invested in this, he understands it and knows it, as does Michael Schumacher too. Michael Schumacher understood where the gaps were, where the opportunities were, and he took advantage of them, and the same thing happens to him to Ferdinand”.
to their 41 years Alonso is the most experienced driver on the grid. And not just by age. He proves every weekend that he is capable of thinking of everything while he is at the controls of the AMR23. At Aston Martin they know this and they all work together to give Fernando the best possible car.
