Fernando Alonso face what will be his last race with alpine. It was already known in August, the Asturian will occupy by 2023 the seat of Sebastian Vettel, who is retiring from Formula 1, something that he is looking forward to, since has made it clear on several occasions.
Although he has shown interest in help as much as possible to French to finish as the best midfielder in the Constructors’ World Championship, the latest events have caused me to think about getting on the Aston Martin.
After the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the last event of the year, come the postseason test and Alonso believes that these will be essential for its adaptation to the single-seater. Fernando will get on the AMR22 and while it’s not the car he’ll be racing in 2023, it will be important to get the seat right and do some testing on tarmac.
“I’ll have to come on Monday, because I have to make the seat for Tuesday and the belts and everything. So yeah, Monday… On Monday, I will change the garage…”, assured Alonso in statements collected by Motorsport.com. “Still no colors! I need to be… unbranded, in black“added the Asturian.
So, as soon as his last weekend with Alpine is over, we will see Fernando dressed in black and in the Aston Martin garage preparing to go 100% into the 2023 Formula 1 season.
