The image of Fernando Alonso in the United States has become viral. Viral because of what he was, because of who he was with, and because he remembers a lot of the one he starred in in the same place a year ago with the car that he now drives. Yes, with the Aston Martin. With the Aston Martin when he was at Alpine. Now, he’s done the same… with a Red Bull.
Because in Austin 2022 Alonso took a good look at the green car. To the car of the team for which he had already signed in the summer and with which he has achieved seven podiums in 2023. With which he is fighting, after many seasons, to finish on the F1 podium. Now, in 2023 and on the same track, he has taken a good look at the Austrian car.
To the champion car. Whom he has completely dominated except in one race and one sprint in this year’s World Championship. In the US, Fernando took and took a good look at the RB19.
Who knows if he has learned anything from the look he took at RB19. Who knows if the most experienced driver in the World Championship can offer his wisdom to Aston Martin to, in 2024, be at the same level as Red Bull.
Yes, because it is the key year. It is the year marked in red for a team that has made great progress this season and that, despite the downturn it is going through, looks to the future with optimism and hope.
With confidence, especially after the pace shown in the US despite the disaster that was predicted to be after Q1. Even with Alonso’s retirement with six laps remaining, Fernando went from starting from the pit lane to fighting for eighth place until he said goodbye. If he had achieved it, he would have finished sixth in Texas due to the disqualifications of Hamilton and Leclerc.
Good news for Aston Martin looking to the future and a Mexican GP in which they hope to be able to optimize a car and some improvements that, it seems, work.
