Fernando Alonso

Aston Martin F1 Team
Spain
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Two-time series champion Alonso will make the switch from Alpine, the team he returned to Formula One with after a two-season sabbatical, to Aston Martin for the 2023 season. Alonso scored one podium in his two seasons with the squad and finished ninth in last season's championship. The former champion's input will be critical for Aston Martin to improve on their seventh-place rank in 2022. He is a demanding figure that contributed greatly to Alpine's car development throughout the season, which is an area where Aston Martin has not been as successful. Equally important is that Alonso's switch is not a single-season deal. He intends to be with the outfit for the long term, which will foster consistency and growth in expectations. His input to the new season's car will be critical in assessing how quickly this pairing will bear fruit, but this should be a team that grows stronger as the season grows older. Read Past Outlooks
Leads FP2 in Canada
Formula One
June 7, 2024
Alonso set the fastest time during a rain-affected Free Practice 2 at the Canadian Grand Prix, with the Spaniard putting his lap in during drier running earlier in the session, while Max Verstappen had his session curtailed after a technical problem, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Session two would start in the dry but soon turn wet as the skies opened up over Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. Teams would switch to rain tyres, but several would have trouble staying on track. Alonso would rise above the chaos and put down a respectable lap of 1:15.810 in the wet conditions. He'd beat out George Russell by nearly a half-second to pace this second practice.
