Beginning dreamed for Aston Martin in the Formula 1 World Cup. The British team confirmed what was seen since the preseason and has managed to make a leap to fight face to face with Mercedes and Ferrari, a real madness just a few months ago. With Red Bullthat accuses them of plagiarizing certain aspects of his carfar ahead of the rest, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll they proved to have enough weapons to fight for the podium during the championship.

In fact, the Asturian achieved a meritorious third place when entering from behind Verstappen and Perez, with his teammate being sixth. A fantastic result that could have been ruined in the first corners of the race, since Alonso and Stroll had a touch that could have ended very badly for both of them.

All the trouble was mounted after a bad start in which Alonso lost his fourth position with the lewis hamilton mercedes. In the middle of the fight to recover the place, the Asturian took a hit in turn 4 from the Sakhir circuit of his teammate Stroll, who ate the apex trying to pass Russell. Fortunately for Aston Martin’s interests, neither Alonso’s rear tire nor Stroll’s nose were damaged and could carry on as normal until the end of the race.

Alonso’s curious conversation

The Asturian noticed the touch in the first corners, actually losing a position when he was overtaken by George Russell’s Mercedes, and did not hesitate to ask Aston Martin on the radio if the incident was being investigated at the believe that it was Russell himself, and not his partnerthe one who had collided with his car.

“I got hit in turn 4 so check it out”said alonso to his team, who replied: “Understood, Fernando. We have seen it and we are working on it. For now we see everything fine”, to which the Asturian insisted “Yeah… but they can’t do that”. Aston Martin tried to keep looking the other way without explaining that Stroll had been the protagonist of his touch.

Minutes later and in the absence of news, Alonso insisted again: “Have you investigated the incident?”. Aston Martin, seeing that the race was controlled and neither of its two cars was having problems, told the Spaniard what had happened: “They have investigated it but they are not going to sanction” so that you know what happened at the start, in Turn 4, Lance was trying to pass George. When you tried to do the little bow with Hamilton, Lance couldn’t brake in time. There was no damage to any car, so all good.” “Okay, I thought it was George”Alonso finally answered.
