Fernando Alonso It never left, the one that left was the car. that phrase of Jenson Button about the Asturian driver is one of the best sums up his last years in Formula 1. Now with Aston Martin he has recovered his best version and it has become common to see him on the podium.
Not so in Barcelona, where he crossed the finish line seventh. The worst result for him so far this year. Which demonstrates the good numbers that the green team are getting, who are still looking for that long-awaited victory 33 for Spanish.
Nico Rosbergchampion of the Great Circus in 2016, has left a phrase that represents what Alonso is. “Fernando is a gladiator. He gives everything at every turn, and I’ve always had great respect for that”, he told ‘Sky Germany’.
“It must be said that his ability to have a overview during the racewhile driving at full speed, is extraordinary,” says the former driver of the Mercedes team.
In addition, it compares you with Michael Schumacher. He believes that they have in common how complete they both have been as drivers: “He is something comparable to Michael Schumacher, who was also extremely strong in that sense.”
Alonso, pending everything
It has become common for Fernando to do many more things besides driving. It also happened at the Spanish Grand Prix. It was in qualifying when he radioed for a penalty for “an Alpine that was bothering Max Verstappen.”
“That’s three positions…”, denounced the Asturian. He is at everything. Experience is one of his strengths. And the bad result of Barcelona has not made him collapse. “We will crush them (Mercedes) in Canada”, he released at the end of the race.
