Less than a minute. is what lasts the video that Aston Martin has uploaded. That the British Formula 1 team has shared with a Alonso already wearing green and even testing the simulator of a team with which he hopes to be world champion again… and with which in the few seconds that the video lasts he makes it clear that we are before another Fernando.
before a Fernando who has left Alpine behind. Which has been released. That he has taken off his shoulders that strange environment that made him think about the future during the last part of the championship. Or even what was left. He had his mind elsewhere, on ‘The Mission’. His thoughts were on Aston Martin.
And for this he has prepared. It has been taken care of. He has trained to the max. So much has been so including Flavio Briatore mild Better than when I was at Renault. Better than in 2003. Than in the years in which he was world champion. The truth is that if it is by gestures, you can see in Alonso that look of someone who is about to make his debut.
With the illusion of a ‘rookie’
Of who is before his first time. That look of a kid in new shoes. Ones you like. One of those that he is looking forward to launching. Because, as was said at the beginning, in the few seconds that the Aston Martin video lasts, He has seen an Alonso that has little to do with the one at the end of 2022.
An Alonso with a smile from ear to ear. One that he couldn’t hide because it was impossible. At no time does he stop smiling. He stops making it clear that he is more than happy with the path that opens before him. Yes, Aston Martin was below Alpine, but sometimes that’s the least of it.
A 2022 weighed down by mechanical failures and…
Because the most is in the numerous mechanical failures that he suffered with the Frenchmen. Some who let an Alonso see more than pissed off, like in Mexico, and affected, like in Singapore. That he left clear sentences to reflect his situation and that he also saw how his team seemed to have the enemy at home.
Esteban Ocon was his great rival more than his partner, closing doors where there was no other possibility than the impact between the two cars as in Interlagos. Like in Brazil. Like in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Alpine seemed not to react to the harshness of the Frenchman.
And then, Oscar Piastri. The brand playing on both sides, not valuing to the extent that not only a two-time world champion should be valued, but also one of the biggest claims of F1 with Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
hopeful alonso
Now, at Aston Martin, the team’s green is reflected in the eyes of a hopeful Fernando Alonso who has been reunited with the biggest of his smiles.
