many years ago not there was so much illusion either reality, with Fernando Alonso. With the options of seeing the Asturian on the podium in Bahrain. In a drawer that seemed to be impossible when signed by Aston Martin in the summer of 2022 and that now, after Sakhir’s trials, does not seem far from unattainable. Because the two-time champion, with the AMR23, aims high.
I already they said in Mercedeswho see the Silverstone car, which by the way they motorize, in the second step of a supposed Formula 1 grid after the tests. Because they not only put them ahead of themselves, but also They also rank above Ferrari.
Behind only Red Bull, a team that seems to be unattainable after the displays of Sergio Pérez and a Max Verstappen who already warns that the RB19 is a better car than last year. That the one who dominated the World Cup without opposition to win it both in pilots with the Dutchman and in constructors.

And then he points to Alonso: “Fernando, in particular, seems very competitive.”
The long run, the astonishing long run, which Alonso gave in Bahrain. performed race Simulation, with 58 laps, and the wear on his tires was practically zero. The one with the Ferrari, exaggeratedly high.
Now they are no longer Alpine and McLaren the ones looking at the Aston Martin garage. Now those who look are the great ones. Now who does not lose detail of Fernando Alonso’s car is the current Formula 1 world champion.
