Fernando Alonso
Fernando Alonso Diaz is a Formula One race driver from Spain. He started his racing career early and entered the world of Formula One after successive wins at the junior level. His entry on the racing circuit with successive championships in the mid-2000s marked the end of the Michael Schumacher era. A driver of undeniable talent, he first became Formula One World Drivers’ Champion during his stint with Renault in 2005. In his first race of the 2005 season in Australia, Alonso shrugged off a beginning from the second tier of the grid to finish on the podium with a third-place finish. He then went on win the successive two races. The dream run continued, and his consistent form and daring style made him the youngest F1 champion at that point of time. An encore in the 2006 season made him the youngest double champion in the sport’s history. He has since been associated with several other teams, including McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari. Although he has not managed to win any more championships since 2006, he remains one of the most respected drivers on the circuit, alongside Kimi Räikkönen, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. Thanks to his career statistics, his position as one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time is secure.

With sixth place, Fernando Alonso (Alpine) has achieved his best result since returning to Formula 1 this year. He starred in a first great start in a race full of shocks. On the grid, Alonso was in eighth position and soon went into the pits to change tires: from soft to hard. He dropped to 16th place, and from there he was able to recover some places, first after the puncture of Lance Stroll, which caused the safety car to leave, when he was 12th, and then at the new start – he started 10th -, which he did with the tires soft, which allowed him to move forward 4 positions and climb to sixth place.

The Monaco Grand Prix last weekend was one of the most exciting races around the streets of Monte Carlo in recent years. This was in part due to Lewis Hamilton’s uncharacteristic struggles, which left him down in seventh in qualifying and unable to improve his position in the race while title rival Max Verstappen dashed off with the lead. The win allowed Verstappen to edge ahead of Hamilton for the top spot in the championship, the first time a non-Mercedes driver has been first in the standings since the 2018 German Grand Prix.

Fernando Alonso, for the comeback and Carlos Sainz, for the podium in Portimao

The Portuguese GP from Formula 1, third race of the year, will measure the resilience of a Fernando Alonso that had a bad classification, without palliative.

Fernando Alonso takes a leap forward to finish in the ‘top 5’ in the free practice of Portimao

The roller coaster (in this case, Portuguese) of the Portimao circuit perfectly sums up what was seen with Fernando Alonso. In the first free sessions he was overcome with solvency by Esteban Ocon, which gave him half a second and left many doubts. In the seconds, with heat on the track, the Spanish leapt forward: 5th (almost in the same time as Ocon) and with Carlos Sainz, 4th, in the same tenth.
