Fernando Alonso secured his best qualifying result of the F1 season and is well poised to open his points account for the year – but he has bigger aspirations in mind.
Fernando Alonso aims for race victories after his impressive qualifying performance at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix where he secured fifth place on the grid for Aston Martin.
Although Alonso’s teammate Lance Stroll has already scored points this season, Alonso is yet to do so, along with Gabriel Bortoleto, Liam Lawson, and the sidelined Jack Doohan.
Alonso is focused on winning the season-opening race in Australia next year as part of Aston Martin’s ambitious project, which includes key additions like Adrian Newey and a new works power unit deal with Honda.
Even though overtaking at Imola is challenging, Alonso is determined to open his points account for the year but anticipates potentially losing positions during the race.
With significant upgrades introduced by the team, Aston Martin drivers are in a stronger position for the Imola Grand Prix, setting the stage for an exciting and strategic race ahead.
