Marina Bay. Marina Bay Night. The magical night of one of the the most iconic pieces of F1. One of the most demanding. One of the hardest and most complicated. The kind where hands count. The kind that penalizes any mistake. This is the 18th round of the World Cup. This is the course where a new duel will take place between Lando Norris And Max Verstappen.
Because the title is at stake. Or rather because the titles are at stake. That of the constructors, with McLaren already in advance Red Bull and go out 20 points to the Austrians, and that of the drivers, Lando putting pressure on Max in the tightest World Championship since 2021.
All because of McLaren’s high. All because, by the way, of Red Bull’s decline. Because of a slowdown that has happened by chance since Adrien Newey left the team. Yes, that’s how influential the great F1 guru is or seems to be. The creator of the best cars like William and the Austrian car itself on two different stages. Yes, they can be that excited. at Aston Martin.
Alonso, alien
And if you notice the same thing when they are not there and when they are well, they can smile at Silverstone. Not only do they have the British, but they also have Honda, a champion engine, and with Fernando Alonso. It will be in 2026. It will be with the Asturian at an age. And the years show it…
But they show themselves for the best. Because Alonso is not getting old. Alonso is maturing. Alonso is gaining experience.. Alonso wins, race after race, with speed and confidence. Nobody knows how capable he is. Nobody understands how he is able to do it. But with an Aston Martin that is the seventh best car in the World Cup, he shows that he is perhaps not from this planet.
In Baku he enjoyed it and not a little. In qualifying and in the race. And in Singapore he continues with this same idea. With Stroll’s fall in the first quarter, he was the great green hope. In the second quarter and the third quarter. Because Fernando fought with the best. He did it to be seventh. Starting from a position that does not even remotely represent where AMR24 is currently.
Behind him, the two Ferraris. And also the Williams. And even Sergio Perez’s Red Bull. He’s going to play what he’s going to play. You’re gonna have to look in the rearview mirror and trust Singapore to do something. Because Marina Bay is the perfect definition of a mousetrap.
The exit, very complicated, who knows how many he beats. Bad place for Alonso. Bad place for Sainz. In the middle, in the whole middle. Looking forward and back at the beginning with some rather dangerous turns. Alonso knows this well and who knows what he could have done with the McLaren-Honda without that incident at Marina Bay a few years ago…
