Mass hysteria. They are two of the most repeated words among the followers of Fernando Alonso after the Bahrain weekend. Some continue to rub their eyes when they see the Asturian again among the best with his Aston Martin.
Because yes, the AMR23 thing is a reality. The objective before the tests was to lead the middle zone of the grid and now “rivals have changed”. This was stated by the Formula 1 narrator Antonio Lobato.
And those rivals are those from the upper part. Not Red Bull, which is too far with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez to the head. But yes Ferrari or Mercedes.
The ‘on board’ camera of the two-time F1 champion shows that the car is not uncomfortable at all. Very stable when cornering and nothing difficult in the corrections. An encouraging car that could surprise the first weekend of F1.
The cornering stability of this car is amazing.
Bearing in mind that Fernando has only been with this car for 3 days, the level of safety that it generates and the little that he needs to correct seems spectacular to me.
The Aston Martin has been born very well. pic.twitter.com/fV9jNSoRy9
