“33, 33, 33”fans shout at the opening of pit lane of the Spanish GP at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Thursday, delivered to Fernando Alonso, who came out with some of his best-known mechanics to join the thousands of fans who waited for him in the afternoon on the garage street of the Catalan track. It is on the lips of all fans. They are dreaming of the Asturian again, knowing that achieving a podium more than 10 years after Fernando entered the box for the last time in Barcelona, in 2013, the date on which he achieved what is now his last F1 victory. But they keep asking the same thing: Is 33 possible?
Is it possible?
The theory says it is very difficult. Red Bull is the favorite in its two cars, especially after the track’s final chicane is cleared, which will allow Red Bull to squeeze more of its biggest strength on the straight: its top speed. And you have to see how Ferrari is progressing, with new pontoons and new floors, some important improvements, and Mercedes, who will put the ‘B’ car (more than half a new single-seater) to the test already taken its in Monaco. Aston Martin wants another podium finish, but the battle may be close.
Numerology points to 33
However, Fernando’s fans cling to the incredible numerology that exists around it Grand Prix, which points directly to victory 33 in F1: Fernando Alonso occupies box 33 of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. This is the 33rd Spanish GP hosted by Montmeló, and also, consecutively, since 1991.
And to curl the loop, a data for madness: Alonso will compete in his F1 GP number 362 in his career, a number divided by the 1086 contested races in the history of F1, gives a total of… yes, 33.33% of contested racess of Alonso in everything that happened in this sport. Because of this, its fans went viral again with 33 of the networks.
Faced with this euphoria, despite the fact that Alonso is clear that he needs “both Red Bulls to have a little problem to be there and take advantage of the opportunity” to win in Barcelona, the Asturian assured that he will do nothing. to stop it.
“The public’s euphoria for 33? You can’t stop it. It’s going to be impossible. It’s like putting a barrier in the sea. Eventually, everything will beat you. In the world we live in, if there’s a trend and the fans follow it the path, it is better to embrace it and follow that path than to put a door. There is a lot of talk about the 33. I am calm, I know we have a car that will give us opportunities this year. I hope”, commented Alonso in front of the Spanish press present at the Circuit on Thursday.
Fernando Alonso’s 33rd win at Barcelona this season looks unlikely. But the numerology hobby dreams. It is reminiscent of the announcement of a well-known Argentine brewery before the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where many albiceleste fans appear in search of coincidences between the 1986 World Cup title and the possibility of winning the 2022 title. The coincidences between one date and another are enormous. And that place made a final thought:
“After more than 20 years, Argentina has changed its sponsor. After more than 20 years, Argentina became the champion of the Americas. For those who need coincidences, there are coincidences. Whenever you want, there are opportunities that will allow you to dream. The important thing is that Fernando Alonso is back in the top positions. With that alone, the fans vibrated again. In Barcelona it is difficult to win, but Fernando made it clear that “there will be more opportunities this year” to achieve the long-awaited 33rd.
