Will he get his first win in Monaco in over ten years? If the chance presents itself, Fernando Alonso is unlikely to pass it up. He knows how things are there.
Fernando Alonso celebrated two of his previous Formula 1 Grand Prix victories in Monte Carlo. And the premier class itself made a calculation before the classic of the motorsport premier class on Sunday, which the 41-year-old Spaniard should like.
28 + 5 = 33, wrote Formula 1 on Instagram. The race takes place on May 28th and if Alonso were to win it would be the 33rd victory in his long career. The fact that he managed the first of his two wins on the Côte d’Azur on May 28th in 2006 rounded off the numbers game a little.
“Hopefully soon,” said Alonso in Miami at the last race of the season so far when asked if he could win a Grand Prix or two this year. The race in Imola, which was canceled due to the weather, was not one of the possible victory locations for the strong veteran in the Aston Martin.
“We are very good in the corners”
In contrast to the tight circuit in Monte Carlo. “It looks like our car isn’t the fastest on the straights,” Alonso explained, adding that they still need to improve on that. “But we are very good in the corners.” Monaco, Budapest and Singapore – “at the moment we have the highest hopes on these types of circuits”.
Alonso is third in the standings with 75 points. Alonso has made it onto the podium in four of the previous five Grands Prix. The superiority of the Red Bulls from front runner and defending champion Max Verstappen (119 points) and Sergio Perez (105) does not really come into play on the circuit in Monte Carlo due to the track characteristics.
And his former teammate Giancarlo Fisichella believes he is still capable of great things, i.e. the third World Cup triumph before the end of his career. “Fernando Alonso is getting older, but he’s getting faster. I don’t know how he can do it either,” the Italian told Skysports. In Alonso’s World Champion years in 2005 and 2006, he was the teammate of the Asturian, who celebrated his last victory to date on May 12, 2013.
