Earthquake in the Formula 1 Circus. The two-time world champion, Fernando Alonso, freezes the fans: total hatred
The Circus of Formula 1 stops in Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix. Up to this moment, just like last season, Max Verstappen has left only crumbs to his opponents.
The three-time world champion has already taken off in the standings, however, judging from what we have seen so far, his Red Bull seems to be less performing than the version that dominated last year.
This is demonstrated by the semi-setback at the Miami Grand Prix, where the phenomenal Dutchman was preceded under the checkered flag by the British driver from McLaren, Lando Norris, with his first career success, and his retirement due to mechanical problems, after just 4 laps, in Australia where Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz triumphed.
Therefore, for the world leader’s opponents ‘there is still life’. Or at least there is the possibility of putting him in difficulty and, therefore, avoiding the current World Cup being a ‘copy and paste’ of last year’s. A chance, the latter, which the two drivers of the Maranello Red team want to exploit but also a former, never forgotten, of the Prancing Horse, that Fernando Alonso whose latest announcement froze the fans.
Class is not water and so the two-time world champion from Asturias, precisely because he has a single-seater that is not capable of supporting his enormous talent, has so far achieved good results alternating with decidedly less flattering ones.
Now, as mentioned, Formula 1 has landed in the Principality for a Grand Prix which has always been one of the most awaited by fans and the drivers themselves, more for the glamorous atmosphere than for the spectacle on the track. However, the evocative location and layout of the circuit, where it is very difficult to overtake, make it one of the most fascinating on the world championship calendar.
Fernando Alonso also crowns the Principality’s track as one of the best to lap on even if the race is often boring: “In Monaco, qualifying is one of the best moments of the season, but in reality the whole weekend is special. The only day I hate is Sunday because the race is often boring and you have to concentrate on getting the car home,” the words reported by ‘F1-news.eu’.
Love and hate, therefore, on the part of the former Ferrari driver for the Monaco Grand Prix which, due to its particular configuration, short and narrow straights and slow curves, does not allow the slightest distraction already during qualifying, given that it is essential to start from the front to not compromise the outcome of the race, which makes it not only a test of a driver’s talent but also particularly adrenergic.
