Fernando Alonso it was marked a gentleman run in the Monaco GP. The Asturian has achieved his best result since 2014, with a second place that is also the best position for Aston Martin since 2021. Yes, the 33 will have to wait, and seeing the two-time champion in the number 1 position on the podium as well, but it seems more and more possible… and closer.
And it is that he was 84 thousandths behind Max Verstappen in qualifying, and about 20 seconds into the race despite having made two stops when they only had one scheduled. All in all, Alonso was in the fight from a distance and with a strategy that could have worked out perfectly.
by radio, just like he did in the ‘qualy’, made it clear: “It’s not a victory, but I already told you that it would not be easy with rain”.
From the team, going for all the same as Alonso: “Second position… for the next race, first.”
Alonso picked up the glove, and closed the connection with an expression that was more than Spanish: “Bravo!”
Seeing how Fernando is doing and how well the Aston Martin works, he can get madness at the Spanish GP in Barcelona. The blue tide has been painted green, and Alonso already compares this 2023 with the years 2010 and 2012… when he came to fight for the World Cup until the last race.
