It was already said in its day that could be the best of the year… and at the moment it is the best of March. yes it was in the first race, but what Fernando Alonso did was so wild that who knows if there is someone capable of overcoming his maneuver. Because the Asturian, with his overtaking Lewis Hamilton in Bahrain, made a real masterpiece.
One that took place at the Sakhir track, on lap 38 of a race in which Aston Martin started his brilliant career in this 2023. In three tests, three podiums. And in Bahrain was where it all started.
where they made it clear that the tests weren’t a joke and that was demonstrated with Fernando Alonso. His pace was stratospheric throughout the Grand Prix, and the key moment was what he did to Hamilton.
by radio already He was saying what could happen, and in the end it happened. He cooked up the play, approaching Hamilton little by little. He threw the car at him and passed him, but he went wide and Lewis made up the position.
And luckily it was like that, because if we had succeeded the first time we would not have seen what we saw. In turn 10, one in which it is already difficult, you have to have all five senses on, even when rolling ‘alone’, Alonso showed itself on the outside, on the inside and through any possible gap.
It surpassed him, and it was so brilliant that he was even able to use the DRS later to open some gap with the Mercedes.
Seeing this, normal that Hamilton panicked about Alonso when he saw him in the rearview mirror in Australia…
