The Asturian, who has 41 springs, will be the main weapon of an Aston Martin team that has between eyebrow and eyebrow win the World Cup, and that it is taking the necessary steps to do so. And, for this, he has signed to the two-time world champion. He has signed a driver who leads, by far, a classification in which he will also continue to lead with iron fist some other year. That he will continue to command while be activeand attending to his words, and to his physical formIt seems that it will be for a while longer.

The Asturian, two-time world champion in competition and one of the best drivers in motorsports, faces his first season as a member of Aston Martin and there are those who see something that will be key in how difficult it will be to be able to beat the veteran Spanish runner. Because Pete Windsor, former head of Williams and Ferrari, and one of the most experienced Formula 1 journalists in the United Kingdom, has warned that Alonso is going to be a very hard rock with the green car. All thanks to Mercedes: “Norris and McLaren have a difficult situation with Aston Martin. Alonso, with Mercedes technology, It’s going to be a very difficult opponent to beat.” “It was already very dif...
Stellantis has long been one of the manufacturers that most commitment to electrification in all its brands. Currently we see how almost all models have some hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric version; something that will be more noticeable in the years to come. In fact, we already have confirmation of two of the most anticipated specimens due to their composition. It’s about the Peugeot e-3008 and e-5008the electric versions of the SUVs, which will be revealed in the second half of the year and will be ready by 2024. The main novelty is that both models will be the first to launch the STLA Medium platform of Stellantis. It is a highly innovative architecture that will be present in the next generations of many of the group’s vehicles. In addition, there is already talk that th...
There are quite a few plug-in hybrid family cars on the market. And among them, some with a really attractive aesthetic without having to go to a premium brand, like the Peugeot 308 SW. It is a car, as we saw in our test, that even in an intermediate finish and in white, turns heads in its path and people ask you about it. It is not his only virtue. It has a high-quality interior and a very balanced set-up, which, without seeking extreme sportsmanship, manages to convey confidence at the wheel. Its consumption is good, better when you use battery power wisely. We explain it to you on video: Not everything is perfect. On the move, we have seen that its electric autonomy in real conditions of use is less than some direct rivals. The driving position (the i-cockpit) is not made for all audien...

Although the Italian firm keep up the tradition and offers it in gasoline versions with a V6 engine. Precisely from one of them a special edition has come out, the Maserati GranTurismo Prima Series. It stands out for its specific configurations and for gaining exclusivity by being a limited edition. Coinciding with the 75th anniversary From the first “gran turismo” that Maserati launched on the market, a copy arrives that wants to reach the hearts of some customers. The PrimaSeries is available in two flavors, although always using the base of the GranTurismo Trofeo, which is the top of the range. In the...

In this corner, founded in 1959 and leader for 13 consecutive years, the still champion and defending champion!Mexican Nissan! In this other one, the once greatest champion for decades and who in 2023 is determined to recover her throne with a complete change of strategy, she is!General Motors of Mexico! If the automotive firms got into a ring, this would be more or less the presentation prior to one of the best fights in memory. Let’s say that both companies have been fighting each other for a long time and if I’m a bit strict, we have the last chapter in the style Marquez vs. Pacquiao or Canelo Álvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin, it happened in 2022. Undoubtedly, la...

Ferrari has a key course ahead. One in which we will have to be aware of what happens on the track, with the team having to go all out to beat Red Bull and Mercedes, and also what happens in the garage. Because Frederic Vasseur, the new boss of Maranello, has not decided who’s going to call the shots in the team… and that gives the option to see Carlos Sainz as the leader of the reds. That, once again, a Spaniard be the great reference of what the team is most laureate of all time in Formula 1. Yes, it has never been said clearly, but Mattia Binotto, in a sometimes not very subtle way, had Leclerc as his right eye. And Charles is the one who has been on the team the longest. Also who has achieved the most victories in Formula 1, highlighting his first course in red and also a 2...
The luxury sector has started 2023 giving its shareholders reasons to toast with champagne. Its fame as a refuge against inflation and economic weakness did not finish translating into a good general performance in 2022. Now, economic prospects that remain pessimistic and, above all, the reopening of China after the lifting of its harsh measures of Covid zero, they push their price. In the short time so far this year, several of the giants in the sector have slipped into the best shares of the Euro Stoxx 50. Thus, LVMH, Kering and Hermès, are aiming for increases of between 12% and 14% in 2023. In a world in which, according to Credit Suisse, 1.2% of the population accumulated 47.8% of wealth by the end of 2021, the outlook for 2023 is positive. Good proof of this is in LVMH, the largest c...
Ferrari has the ‘big bad’ stop two potential, and actual, numbers 1 on your team. To two pilots who want to win a World Cup, and who still haven’t done it. To a couple in which sometimes it is difficult to know which one is better than the other. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz face a new course with the same objective. With the aim of being world champions… and knowing what decisions they will have to make from the wall. Because they premiere boss. Frederic Vasseur He has arrived from Alfa Romeo taking over from Mattia Binotto, and has already said that, for the moment, they have not established the roles. The key, of course, is that ‘for now’. They will have to. Sooner than later, or later than soon, as the 2023 races roll by They will have to choose ...
Andretti is nothing to know if he will be or if he will not be in Formula 1. The 2026 option is there, and if they reach the Great Circus they would be the eleventh team and the first entry since Haas. Despite its association with Cadillac and with General Motors, the truth is that they have it complicated. Because they do not have, far from it, the OK of most teams on the grid. In fact, they only have the blessing of two of the ten members… Only McLaren and Alpine give their approval, and everything indicates that in the first case it is because of their ‘business’ in other motor categories, and in the second because it is more than possible that Renault be the motorist the team to enter F1. The others, nothing. Red Bull has been the one that has spoken more clearly than...
Evolution. Progress. Advance. Three words that a Formula 1 needs. What a team is looking for, what it wants. For which he works and fights race by race both on the track and in the factory. Which, of course, is not easy. It’s hard. Very difficult. More to do it from one season to another. But difficult, or very difficult, does not mean that it is impossible, and in aston martin they know it can. and Fernando Alonso You also know that you can. Because the team, formerly known as Racing Point, has shown in its most recent past why it can’t be. Why are they not going to be able to win a race in 2023? Why are they going to have to settle for being in the middle zone when, with the right steps, it is possible to go from seventh place in the World Cup to fourth and almost to third. Y...
