He already achieved the best overtaking in March… and want may it be so in April as well. Yes, it is what it seems to be that Fernando Alonso is looking for. Who is looking for a pilot who, like happened in Bahrain with Hamilton, a non-existent area has been invented for a more than risky maneuver in the Azerbaijan GP. And there are already a few.
There are many occasions in which Fernando Alonso has stood up those present on the track as well as those who witness each race on television. On this occasion, he did it to Carlos Sainz. He did it to someone with whom he had their pluses and minuses in the test on Saturday.
It was after an exceptional reading, radioing Aston Martin about how were Lewis Hamilton’s tires. Answered to Lance Stroll’s message, in which he warned that he was not going to attack his partner, when he saw how the wheels of the Englishman they were going to say goodbye shortly.
And in turn 4…
That’s how it was, and then that stroke of luck with a ‘safety car’ that reduced the gap to zero. When the safety car left the time came.
He didn’t even cook it. In turn 4, for an almost non-existent space, Alonso threw Sainz’s car through an interior in which he was close, very close, to touch protections. But it was not like that, and the gift for the viewer was a tremendous overtaking that, once again, is postulated as the best of the month… and of the year.
He was given the gift of winning a position with a Ferrari. Against Sainz’s. Against that of a pilot from whom he did not even have to defend himself and whom with each lap he took more and more time.
For this, an impossible pass to Sainz on a track, that of Baku, which allows few luxuries. Only the best ones they can be liked in Azerbaijan as Alonso has been liked.
