In 2023, the oldest grid driver, Fernando Alonso, redefines racing for the younger generation. His Aston Martin performance echoes his McLaren and Renault days, consistently battling upfront, maximizing car potential, and podium appearances. Like Djokovic in tennis, 36 is the new 26, and in F1, 41 is the new 21 as Alonso outperforms most of the grid every race weekend.
The veteran driver, Fernando Alonso, redefines racing for the younger generation in 2023. With an impressive performance in Aston Martin reminiscent of his McLaren and Renault days, he consistently fights upfront, maximizes car potential, and frequently secures podium positions. He recalled his Hungarian GP by saying, “I have many good memories of racing at the Hungaroring. I won my first Formula One race in 2003, exactly 20 years ago, and it’s often where I celebrate my birthday. It will be strange to celebrate it this year in Belgium, but let’s hope we have something else to celebrate this weekend.”
Starting the year close behind Red Bull, Alonso's AMR23 showed promising potential. However, Mercedes caught up in the championship battle for P2. As the competition intensifies, Alonso aims to lead Aston Martin's charge and close the gap to challenge the frontrunners.
