Fernando Alonso invents NEW overtaking method
Two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso revealed the secret to his best performance of the season at the Spanish Grand Prix, clinching a ninth-place finish after a difficult season start. Despite being in 18th place in the drivers’ championship, Alonso finally secured two points and had three Q3 appearances in a row during qualifying. He emphasized the importance of new overtaking techniques and the need for improved straight line speed to challenge near the top with his Aston Martin team. At 43, under contract until 2026, Alonso is optimistic about the team’s future, especially with Adrian Newey on board and potential changes in F1’s competitive order on the horizon. Despite trailing behind teammate Lance Stroll in points, Alonso’s determination and inventive racing style may close the gap in the upcoming races.
