The illusion is unstoppable. everyone looks at Fernando Alonso in this first Bahrain Grand Prix. After the pre-season tests last weekend, he was once again among the fastest on this Friday, the first practice session of the year.
The ‘alonsismo’ continues without being able to believe it. And the journalist Antonio Lobato has dropped the bomb. “It is the best car that Alonso has had since 2012”he said in ‘DAZN’.
“From then until last year it was a long journey in the desert. In some moments masterful brushstrokes have been given. She has managed to shine starting eighth, let’s see what happens if she comes out higher, “she said.
In addition, he added that his suspicions have come true and he dreams of everything for this first weekend: “I have stopped having my feet on the ground. I believe that what we are experiencing is real. Aston Martin is going to be in the battle for a podium finish in Bahrain.”
“I don’t know how far that car is going to go. What I do know is that it is the best car he has @alo_oficial since 2012″

Between the best?
If this day on Friday has shown anything, it is that the green car is being one of the fastest. Even the second fastest. Because Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton and George Russellseems to have many issues to resolve.
Another hopeful fact is the appearance of Lance Stroll. Without doing preseason and after an operation on his arm, he achieved the sixth fastest time in Free Practice 1. Which proves that the car works.
