Fernando Alonso back in action. This Tuesday, February 7, the Pirelli tests begin with Aston Martin and the Spaniard will be on this first day, which will be behind closed doors and without television. In the second, his teammate is expected, Lance Stroll.
As in Abu Dhabi, Alonso will get behind the wheel of the AMR22. The tests will also continue on Wednesday, one week after the presentation of the AMR23 (next Monday, February 13 from 8:00 p.m.).
The Mercedes will also be in these tests. So Alonso and Lance Stroll could share track with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
With last season’s car, Alonso will not be able to work on the best Aston Martin presents. The team talked about a “95%” new partsso the 2022 and 2023 cars could be very different.
His retreat is far away
Coinciding with his return to the tracks after the winter break, Alonso has made it clear that whatever happens in this new adventure with Aston Martin, he will not leave Formula 1 in the short term: “I will continue whatever the results of the year because I know what I can give to the team”.
“I wouldn’t continue here if I didn’t believe we have at least one chance. I don’t know if it’s a 1% chance or a 10% chance, but I’m only continuing because I think we’ll have a chance”, the Asturian told ‘Motorsport’.
Official preseason tests
Yes, there will be television in the official F1 tests, which will be held between Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 in Bahrain, where precisely the first race of the year will be run. The three days will be broadcast on ‘DAZN’.
there Alonso will debut with the AMR23 already with the number 14. It will be the first time that the two-time champion is seen behind the wheel of the car from which so many things are expected in 2023.
