Fernando Alonso is leaving many with their mouths open with his time at Aston Martin. Others like Jenson Button have repeated that he “never left”, that it was the car that had not accompanied him. And now in the green team he is showing that at almost 42 years of age he is capable of fighting for very important results.
Felipe Massa, who was his teammate at Ferrari a decade ago, has commented on ‘GP Blog’ what the Asturian is achieving: “He is already of a certain age, he is about to turn 42, he is the Formula 1 driver with the most experience in history, he is the one who has completed the most races and I think age is just a number”.
“He is doing an excellent job, as he has been throughout his career, and the fact that he has a competitive car allows him to show how talented he is as a driver,” highlighted the former Brazilian driver.
And he feels a certain envy: “Maybe he could have continued racing in Formula 1 until now. I think that in this sport everything depends on the will, the work and the results on the track.”
“The results show that Alonso could be on the grid for a few more years,” he details. Much has been said precisely about that and about the possibility of Alonso reaching 2026, when Aston Martin joins Honda.
F1 wants the 33
It is a reality that important F1 figures are looking forward to Alonso’s 33rd. Max Verstappen himself, prominent leader of the world championship, has commented that he would like that victory to come.
In Canada he was nine seconds behind. And that gap could be further reduced in Austria this coming weekend. Because there Aston Martin wants to optimize its upgrade package and finally catch up with Red Bull. A demand from the big boss, Lawrence Stroll, who wants to go all out.
