The Spanish driver joked about Aston Martin’s chances of getting its first victory at the Melbourne circuit
Fernando Alonso He has become the great hope for Formula 1 and thus, he thinks that things could go better in Australia. His maturity and usual grace have been joined by the possibilities offered by the AMR23 that Aston Martin has created for this season.
So far, they have already achieved two notable successes. Fernando Alonso has been on the podium twice in the two races that have been held in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and they have been a good test bench for the Spaniard who now aspires to take a win this season in Australia.
Through an interview, the Asturian took the opportunity to jokingly refer to the Austrian team
And it is that the current of the famous 33 has overflowed in Spain and even Formula 1 itself has echoed the fever that has been unleashed. A situation that has come to surpass Fernando Alonso himself, as he recognized from the Albert Park circuit.
The scuffle that Sergio Pérez and Max Verstappen have been dragging since the end of the 2022 season had a new episode two weeks ago, in Jeddah. The Dutchman pushed with everything in the last few laps and took the fastest lap from the Mexican despite the fact that the team asked them to slow down.
A victory in the Australian GP is the biggest goal for Fernando Alonso
“Hopefully I can get to victory 33, but I’m realistic. We know that the Red Bulls are too far ahead now. But hey, anything can happen, a reliability problem, a touch between them, that there has also been a lot of talk about the fact that they have a hot environment and we will be attentive”, Alonso pointed out.
In Australia, the safety car can change the race. Alonso knows. And that in Australia anything can happen. In fact, an example of this is that only two winners of the last nine races held in Australia have started from pole position with Lewis Hamilton in 2015 and Charles Leclerc in 2022.
