Fernando Alonso’s viral radio, with a strong message about 33

Fernando Alonso has no doubts. Success will come. Sooner or later, victory 33 will be yours. Just a year ago, it would have been difficult to make such a prediction. Even the Asturian himself cannot be sure of such a thing. But now, after seeing Aston Martin’s great start on the course and understanding the team’s ambitious project from the inside, the Spaniard is clear about it. Above all, after the green team showed him another very important point in Zandvoort: that he knows how to respond to his factory.

The Silverstone team showed that it can come out of a hole in the results and respond to the evolution of powerful factories such as Mercedes, Ferrari or McLaren in the development race. Starting as the second best car, these rivals overtook him to become the 5th best car in the previous four races before reaching Zandvoort. This weekend’s race was a big trial by fire. Aston Martin presented an important package of improvements to start turning its situation around and enter the chasing group of Red Bull, once again in the fight for the podiums. And now, in the Netherlands the step forward is confirmed with a new box for Alonso, the 7th of the year and the first after 4 races from here.

Aston Martin showed Fernando an important reaction for any team that chooses to excel and fight for victories. It is possible that, despite having better weapons to join the fight with Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren, there are better and worse races. Zandvoort can be a good track for Aston Martin and now we have to see the versatility of the car next weekend in Monza, on a completely different track, with many straights.

The parity in the group of cars is huge and at Zandvoort, for example, Ferrari is completely out of the fight. But that picture can change from week to week. What is certain is that the car feels better, with a much tighter grip at Zandvoort and it proved to have very good downforce, with very fast speed in the wet. It filled Fernando Alonso with optimism. In Hungary, a buzzard track, just two races ago, it was far. In Zandvoort, he was on the podium again. If things continue like this, Fernando hopes to have some chances of success. For example in Singapore.

An Alonso radio with a clear message

For this reason, the Asturian sent a strong message to his team as soon as the Dutch GP ended. He was close to his long-awaited victory 33. He tried to attack Verstappen in the restarted final with only 7 laps to the checkered flag. It stayed close, but it wasn’t enough. Because of this, Alonso’s subsequent speech on the radio was encouraging to his team. Here, the security with which Fernando speaks about his sought-after success stands out 33. He no longer speaks conditionally. You are sure it will come.

“I’m very happy, mate. I thought we could try it on lap 1 (of the final restart) but we don’t have a chance. I’m ready to try it. We’ll win a race. sooner or later, we’ll be close. Well done guys, very good car to drive”, commented Alonso. Another reason to keep pushing the Aston Martin factory. Tom McCullough, Aston Martin’s performance director, said when asked by MD that there are “a few more parts coming” to the car, though no timeframe was mentioned. “The rest is to go from being the 5th best car to the 2nd.” This is just the beginning for them. They want to keep improving.
