In Barcelona in 2013, did you think we'd have to wait a decade for Fernando Alonso to win in F1 again? If you said 'yes', we don't believe you! ✍️ OllieHarden FernandoAlonso F1 Formula1
Spain 2013: Remembering Fernando Alonso’s last Formula 1 win 10 years onIf Fernando Alonso is somehow destined to never again stand on the top step of a Formula 1 podium, there are worse ways to sign off than a glorious win at home.– F1 victory, for Ferrari at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.
So much so that even now it leaves you asking how Alonso and Ferrari, those two perfectly suited forces of nature over five years together, could get it wrong.Study Alonso’s onboards for any length of time and it soon becomes clear that he places a greater value than most on staying out of the turbulent air of the car ahead.
If Hamilton had been paying close attention, he would have noticed that a taster session in Fernando’s Racing School had come more than eight years earlier in Catalunya. Raikkonen was easily out-accelerated but there was still a gap of a car length to Hamilton at this point. Until downforce did its thing.
Rosberg and Hamilton were fast over a single lap, but the Mercedes’ murderous treatment of its tyres on a track surface pushing 40°C saw them fall from a front-row lockout to sixth and 12th at the chequered flag. Yet a single passing comment in the joy of the celebrations, read all these years later, almost seems to tempt fate given the direction his career would soon take: “I am so happy for the team, for the fans, and hopefully this result won’t be a one-off.”Aston Martin’s warning for Fernando Alonso as Spaniard wants more than just podiums
