The Total Exposure of Fernando Alonso In Singapore. As in Baku, the Asturian did something that even at Aston Martin They thought about what he would be able to do by pushing the AMR24 beyond its limits. By putting the car in a place that the Silverstone factory would not have even dreamed of. They imagined they might be there.
But it’s him. He’s the double world champion. Here’s a rider for whom the years go by but for the better. Because it seems like it’s getting better and better. Because when he reaches his highest level, he surpasses it. In Marina Baythe same.
As always, on the other hand. With it, according to Alonso, seventh best car. With a car that go behind the big four and also by Williams and Haas. There’s Aston Martin. That’s definitely where Fernando doesn’t want to be.
And since he doesn’t want to be there, he does everything and more to put the green car much higher than what the forecasts and himself say. In the Singapore ranking, In Q2 he performed another miracle.
A conclusive laugh
With Lance Stroll absent at the first opportunity, he put the AMR24 in the fight with the best for a seventh place as the Ferraris decided to set themselves on fire. Sainz, accident; Leclerc, draw the limits.
The key was in the second quarter. There he couldn’t beat Hulkenberg. Not with Tsunoda either. Yes with Sergio Perez. Yes with the one from Red Bull. And when they told him on the radio, he couldn’t help but have one of those epic reactions.
“Alonso, we caught Perez. Good job. P10,” his communications engineer told him.
He first asked if it was over. When he was told, he stopped saying nothing else and limited himself to what he limited himself to: “Ha ha ha”.
A good laugh from Alonso, perhaps out of disbelief or happiness. Perhaps it was something else, knowing that with an Aston Martin he had surpassed a Red Bull. In any case, Fernando is seventh at the start of Marina Bay.
