This Friday the Australian Formula 1 adventure begins with the first two free practice sessions of the weekend. A weekend in which rain was expected. However, the prediction has changed in the last few hours. It’s not supposed to rain between Friday and Sunday.
Therefore, sun is expected throughout the weekend, with the race being held in the dry without the uncertainty generated by rain. A wet layout would change everything already from Saturday. But it won’t be like that.
Fernando Alonso He explained that for that victory to come 33 he will need things to happen in front, that is, in the Red Bull of max verstappen and Sergio Perez. A “reliability problem” or “a touch between them”, said the Asturian, remarking the “hot atmosphere” that exists in the team.
All F1 fans remember the wet qualifying that took place last year at the Canadian Grand Prix. Alonso got the second best time only behind Verstappen. A real feat considering that the Alpine was far from among the fastest cars.
Alonso has always been a master in the rain. Throughout his career, of more than 20 years, he has shown that he is good at that scenario and that he can do real fancy things behind the wheel.
But this weekend, in principle, there will be no rain in Albert Park. It will run dry and Aston Martin will have to fight one on one against Red Bull. Will 33 arrive this weekend?
