Fernando Alonso going to be one of the proper names in this 2023 within of Formula 1. The Asturian, two-time world champion in competition and one of the best drivers in motorsports, faces his first season as a member of Aston Martin and there are those who see something that will be key in how difficult it will be to be able to beat the veteran Spanish runner.
Because Pete Windsor, former head of Williams and Ferrari, and one of the most experienced Formula 1 journalists in the United Kingdom, has warned that Alonso is going to be a very hard rock with the green car.
All thanks to Mercedes: “Norris and McLaren have a difficult situation with Aston Martin. Alonso, with Mercedes technology, It’s going to be a very difficult opponent to beat.”
“It was already very difficult for McLaren to fight against Alonso in Alpine”, said Windsor in a broadcast on Twitch, recalling that in 2022 the Woking They were already behind the French.
And it is that Windsor is excited to see Alonso dressed in green: “I have I really want to see Fernando in Aston Martin, with a Mercedes power unit and with the technology provided by the Germans”.
The truth is that said power unit is one of the elements that Alonso has as reasons to smile in this first season as an Aston Martin driver. The Germans know how to make powerful and reliable engines, as they have shown in a car, in a Mercedes, which except for these last two seasons has dominated F1 since 2014.
Precisely the motor it was the big headache for Fernando Alonso in Alpine. The power unit sometimes broke just looking at it, and that caused the Spaniard to suffer not a few dropouts that weighed down his season.
