Fernando Alonso He did it again. We don’t know how many times he did it, but once again he stumped his own boss with a performance beyond all expectations. Among all Aston Martin predictions for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Because they gave him 13th, maybe 12th… but no. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Because the Asturian did what he does best. The AMR24 seems more than it is. Because he said so himself. Because even he knew he was going to suffer. Not with those above, but with Williams or Haas. He saw everyone faster… but they couldn’t beat him.
From the seventh he fell to the eighth, once Lando Norris surpassed him with a McLaren winner with Oscar Piastri in Baku. The rest, behind. The accident between Carlos Sainz and Sergio Pérez did the rest. Sixth. And eight points for Silvertone.
“All the credit goes to Fernando Alonso”

“Alonso… all the credit goes to him. And to the team, for a one-stop race that was the key to this result,” explain.
Alonso’s race was impeccable: “He was very strong. He took advantage of his position to be eighth for almost the entire race, then With the accident he gained some positions.
Next stop: Marina Bay
Now for Singapore: “It will be a similar challenge to Baku. “We will look to score more points.”
