It was lived in Spanish Grand Prix. The total madness of Spanish fans with Fernando Alonso and also with the ‘carrots’ by Aston Martin. The fans are absolutely devoted to the Asturian driver, who has been on the podium five times in seven races.
And Alonso has celebrated that young people are getting hooked on their competition. This is what he said in ‘DAZN’: “We have a new generation of younger fans who didn’t see me get on the podium before. They probably thought that with age you lose performance and skill and that I was just a pilot from the past”.
“In the end they see that the car – as we repeat many times but sometimes you have to prove it once again – is the most important thing in Formula 1, and suddenly they see that you are a good pilot“, says the two-time Formula 1 champion.
He assures that they have to take advantage of this “wave” that he is experiencing: “My popularity is at the highest, and for Aston Martin and the sport in general as well, so we have to ride this wave.”
Alonso is currently one of the most influential athletes in the world. and no doubt the most important in Spain. His videos are always viral on social networks and the new generations enjoy with him driving and fighting for important things in the Great Circus.
The Spaniard is third in the drivers’ championship behind the two Red Bulls, Max Verstappen and Checo Perez. The Dutchman is a very prominent leader in the championship and is closing in on his third championship in a row.
