Fernando Alonso got on the podium at the Bahrain GP. She did it with a exceptional career. One in which he started fifth, finished the first lap seventh and began to shoot and assert his aston martin superpowers to reach third place. She did it, in short, with an absolutely magical performance.
One of those who create school. What do they do? that show that ID they were just looking at it in alpine when it came to talking about Asturian. Of all a two-time champion. Because Alonso is not that he is back, it is that he is better than ever. And he saw himself clearly in Sakhir.
As soon as he has had the machine, a monstrous piece of engineering painted green that he has been given in the Aston Martin team, He did what he did with the Renault. In his two World Cups in blue. he did what He also performed at McLaren, in 2007. And what he showed when Ferrari put a car worthy of him.
“This car is a blast to drive”
And he knows it. He knows that he has a car that is ready to fight. Perhaps not to win a World Cup, or who knows if he has seen what he has seen in eight months now, but that he is there to reach podiums and win races. Red Bull is far away but in the return to return everything can happen.
Is happy. Very happy. Because this time yes. This time you can dream. Yes, one can let oneself be carried away by illusion. Because the Aston Martin is a great Formula 1 car.
He said it up twice on the radio. The first, very ‘light’ compared to the second.
“This car is a marvel to drive,” he said when he was already in podium positions after passing Sainz.
“What have you done…”
But the second, at the end of the race, was already resounding: “What is it that you have done. I’m very proud of you.”
Yes, how not to get excited. How not to think big. How not to vibrate again with a driver who made many people discover F1 in Spain.
He’s back
Because Alonso, because ‘Magic’ Alonso, has returned. He has returned stronger than ever.
