Fernando Alonso astonished everyone at the highlight of the Azerbaijan GP . Magic Alonso once again pulled a new trick out of his hat to gain several positions and overcome up to four rivals. At the start he overtook three drivers and then passed Tsunoda in a formidable way in the curve where there was no room. The Japanese still cannot explain where the Spanish came in. While everyone went on the inside, Alonso went on the outside to take the inside at the next corner and gain another position.
In Alpine they were hallucinating with his performance. Alonso went back to doing magic when he needed it most. Aware that it was a short race, he went all out to get the best possible result. It was time to bring out the magic, the one that has given him so many successes in the past and that this one was not being able to show. The sixth time was the charm. He seized the moment and went back to doing one of his magical outings that left everyone on his team in awe.
Alpine CEO Marcin Budkowski analyzed what happened: “ The good thing about the Azerbaijan GP was Fernando’s magic to win four positions and finish sixth, which is a great reward for everyone’s hard work. He is back in a very competitive state and now we have to work together to get back into shape at the next race in France.
«The race did not start well, Esteban (Ocon) had to stop with a power problem in his engine and Fernando’s race pace was not competitive, so we need to understand the reasons. In general it was not a good afternoon, but we can be happy that the two drivers who have had problems are well and gave us a lot of action after the highlight, “he added.
Until now, everything had been trouble. Alonso was not quite comfortable on his return to F1, until, finally, he was able to work magic behind the wheel again. Fernando showed why he is one of the best drivers in the history of this beautiful sport. The highlight he made was to put it in schools for young pilots who are starting. Magic Alonso is back.
