everyone looks at Fernando Alonso. Thats the reality. max verstappen He is the world leader. The second is the other Red Bull, the one from Sergio Perez. But the man who is most talked about is the Aston Martin driver, who at 41 continues to leave everyone speechless.
The Asturian can achieve this weekend in the Australian Grand Prix something that he has not achieved for a decade: add three consecutive podiums in the same season. He did it in Bahrain, in Saudi Arabia… and now he will fight for it in Albert Park.
It was in 2013, with the colors of Ferrari, when Alonso managed to climb to the drawer three consecutive times: in Belgium, in Italy and in Singaour. That season he achieved runner-up behind Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel.
Alonso has started the weekend in Australia with good feelings. A fourth and a first place in free practice on Friday, the last one through water and in which Aston barely rolled 13 laps.
The classification, this Saturday at 07.00 (Spanish time), it is expected to be dry. The conditions that the Asturian has requested, that he knows that his car is very competitive and does not need “miracles” to be in the lead.
Pole position will be his great objective and he will not only face the Red Bulls to achieve it. Because charles leclerc with his Ferrari is there. Which shows that Carlos Sainz it could also appear on Saturday. The unknown, as almost always, is that of the Mercedes team.
