It’s not a dream. It is already a reality. He Aston Martin it is at least the second fastest car on the grid. He will fight with Red Bull and Fernando Alonso he could even be on pole in practice on Saturday.
The Spaniard set the best time in the second free practice session on Friday, improving the times of Max Verstappen and Checo Perez. In the first round he was second. The Aston Martin runs… and one lap too.
From the pre-season data it was possible to conclude that the green car will be very competitive on Sundays, in a long run. But this speed was not expected also at one lap. That is, Alonso I could leave first on Sunday.
The two-time champion was the fastest in both one lap and a long run. Thats the reality. The ‘Alonsismo’ does not believe it. What if that miracle has happened at the level of Brawn GP in the past? What if Fernando definitely aspires to victory number 33 on Sunday?
Red Bull and Aston Martin are the fastest cars. The Ferraris suffer, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc almost a second. Mercedes, for its part, will need several races to keep pace with the best.
With half an hour to go, the Spaniard set the fastest time and the table stopped there. Then the long runs began. alternating medium and soft tire. There he was also the fastest, always a few tenths above Verstappen.
