If something was what pushed Fernando Alonso to embark on the project Aston Martin and therefore leave Alpine were the continuous references of the French brand at his age. That of “looking at the passport” continuously to the two-time world champion of Formula 1 did not give him all the confidence he needed, and on the other hand, he is demonstrating thanks to those from Silverstone, with whom he has added four podiums in five races. Speaking to ‘RacingNews365’, the Asturian has reflected on his age.

It all started, as he re...
Five wins in five races. That’s the baggage from Red Bull. That is the summary of a World Cup, of the beginning of a World Cup that is completely painted blue. That he has played the Netherlands anthem four times for max verstappen and in one that of Mexico by Sergio Pérez. By his side, except in Monaco, Alonso. Always Alonso. Always a Ferdinand with an aston martin who wants to win That they are the most realistic alternative to winning. Because yes, they need Red Bull’s ruling, but they only need one ruling. Not several, like the rest. Just don’t have your day neither Sergio Pérez nor Max Verstappen. And the season is long. Very, very long. They know that well at Red Bull. They well know that they have a wind tunnel limitation. And they know well that the AMR23 is a dan...

However, at least since the pandemic wreaked havoc on vehicle inventories and their auto parts, the consumer has been mistreated with some frequency, in an abuse of power that, although it is true, today is on the side of the brands and their distributors. , this is not normal nor will it last forever, as much as some would like it to be. A very common mistake in sellers of expensive products, like automobiles, is to tre...
Many were surprised by the presentation of the last Mitsubishi ASX. The Japanese compact SUV returned renewed, but with too many similarities to another model.
