three days have sufficed for that aston martin pass from being ‘a possible’ to be a reality. From being a maybe to a more than real option in this Formula 1 World Championship start. The reason, the tremendous exhibition that Fernando Alonso and the Silverstone team performed in the Bahrain tests, and that has already led to those who place them as the second team on the grid for Sakhir.
Authorized voices as far as F1 is concerned, such as that of Antonio Lobato. The journalist, who already said on his Twitter that “the choice of enemies has changed” After Alonso’s long run, he has made a forecast about the position of each team in the TikTok of ‘SoyMotor’. For him, only Red Bull is above it.
But is that Mercedes speaks in the same direction. Toto Wolff, head of the brand for the star and Lewis Hamilton, has confirmed in ‘AutoMotor und Sport’ that the British they can perfectly be the second for Bahrain. Yes, he also places them ahead of them and Ferrari.
“They’re not that far…”
only after Verstappen and Perez, but it is that the boss of both also has his eyes on Aston Martin. “They’re not too far”, commented Christian Horner.
Why Aston Martin? has done an amazing job in the F1 tests. Not only because of the times achieved with the C3 and C4, but above all the crazy long run that was set Fernando Alonso on the last day of rehearsals.
In said 58-lap race simulation, the Spaniard practically nailed his times in each turn as if i were a hammer and did not suffer the slightest tire wear. One that took Carlos Sainz’s times ahead.
Aston Martin first, and then…
Therefore, it is not surprising what has happened in the survey that F1 has shared on its official website. In her, in which we leave the link, we see that the fans have been impressed with the Aston Martin.
They are, in fact, the team that has impressed them the most in the Bahrain tests. With 46%, Alonso’s team doubles Red Bull in votes, current world champions and clear favorites to repeat the title.
Mercedes and Ferrari appear with 8& and 7% respectively. Those from Maranello get the same support as Alfa Romeo, which has also ended with a note in Sakhir.
Below, three teams. AlphaTauri, McLaren… and yes, Alpine. All three, 1%. Fernando’s exes have far from had the dream rehearsals in Bahrain.
