Aston Martin is clearly where Alonso’s 33rd F1 victory will go

Fernando Alonso started the year 2023, his first Aston Martin course, in a big way. The green car was second best in the first two races and fought hard against Mercedes in the third round. Therefore, Fernando Alonso started the year with 3 podiums in the first 3 rounds of the year, something he has not achieved since 2005 and 2006, campaigns in which he was champion. Aston Martin will fight from now on to raise the bar and stay ahead of Mercedes and Ferrari, and in turn, close to Red Bull, in the evolutionary race that is about to start in the development of all cars. And also, Oviedo will seek to surprise some tracks, taking any opportunity to achieve his first Aston Martin victory, which will be his 33rd victory in Formula 1, the first since 2013 for the Spaniard.

Many wonder about the route that Fernando might choose to achieve that victory. Mike Krack, the team’s Team Principal, assured a few weeks ago that they could have a good chance of winning at tracks like Monaco, given the Aston Martin’s good performance in slow corners and the lack of straights (a major weakness of AMR23) of the Monegasque track. , or Barcelona, ​​​​​​because of the high wear of the tires and how well the green car manages this aspect. And now, ahead of the fourth race of the season, the mind behind this car, Dan Fallows, is more intent than ever on Monaco.

“Monaco is always a good one, right? Because if you manage to put in a good performance and have a good qualification … Red Bull seems to be up there in terms of top speed and Monaco will neutralize that to a certain extent. I mean, I wouldn’t say that we’re going to win for sure, but I think Monaco is always a lottery, so maybe it’s a good opportunity for us. We love the risk,” said Fallows on the official F1 podcast. , ‘Beyond the grid’.
