There are almost no words left in the dictionary to define what fernando alonso does every time he gets into a car. Every time you start driving. Every time you get your hands on an F1. A, in this case, Aston Martin. Yes magical, yes spectacular, yes incredible… Whatever it is, it is a miracle. It is a real miracle that with the seventh car Whatever he did to put the AMR24 in it Marina Bay T3.
Yes, it may not seem like much coming from 2023. From the “almost” Monaco. From the “almost” Zandvoort. Likewise this duel He beat Sergio Perez in Brazil. And yes, this may also seem like a small haul given that at the beginning of the year they fought, and sometimes won, with Mercedes And Ferrari.
So it’s true. It may not seem like much. But no, it’s not. And it’s not seeing what he did Lance Stroll with his same car. The son of the Aston Martin boss could barely beat a single car in Saturday’s qualifying. And no, He couldn’t handle the first quarter. At the first opportunity, outside.
And as always…
Out and those of Silversone knowing that, as usual, they only had Alonso. They could only count on him as a key weapon to do what was possible. SO BE IT, as Fernando did at Marina Bay, to achieve the impossible.
Because the limit seemed to be T2. Because that seemed to be the ceiling. The Williams and even the Haas were better. With more speed. With more pace. But maybe yes, and maybe not. Maybe yes if you compare it to the AMR24. And maybe not if you compare it to Fernando Alonso.
The Asturian started with a ninth time. With a record that the two Mercedes and Max Verstappen were soon to leave behind. It seemed that the fight was going to be what it was going to be. With the Williams. With the Haas. With the RB of Yuki Tsunoda. Colapinto and Albon, behind, but the others…
The others didn’t, and the duel took place with, mind you, Sergio Perez. With a Red Bull. And Fernando did magic. He outdid him. He beat him. He left him behind despite the huge difference between the cars in this World Cup. And so, in the third quarter.
Ferrari blows up at Marina Bay
In Q3 with the seventh best car. And with this car he surpassed in the final battle to Yuki Tsunoda and the two Ferrariswho decided to blow himself up in Singapore with a Sainz who went to the wall and a Leclerc who got so close that he was penalized with “track limits”.
Far above, once again, Alonso in an Aston Martin who saves the day It is thanks to the best version of the double world champion of F1.
