much is giving the Aston Martin talk in this preseason With a hesitant start due to Felipe Drugovich’s electrical problem, Fernando Alonso got fed up with running on the second day and not only added kilometers but also has set great records in time to the chrono.
Because, with the same tires, the two-time Formula 1 world champion has set the second best time of both days, second only to Max Verstappen. As for the lap by lap, it is similar to that of the Ferrari with Carlos Sainz.
And this is something that has lifted my spirits. That has made the F1 fans and particularly Fernando Alonso more than optimistic. The doubt lies in if everything is being ‘for the photo’ or whether what has been achieved is ‘real’.
What does that mean? Basically, if the car has been drained of fuel so that it weighs less and achieves those times. The answer Antonio Lobato has it, that was on the Twitch of ‘SoyMotor’.
“I can say that there was more than 40 kilos in your gas tank”, says Lobato.
That, as he says, “are good news”. They are because the results of the Aston Martin have not been sought, but have come naturally without having to remove gasoline from the car.
The question now is how many kilos the others were carrying. That is something that we will discover in the first round of the World Cup, in Bahrain, when the cards are shown and teams that are leaving many doubts are seen competing to the maximum, such as Mercedes, McLaren… and Alpine.
