Fernando Alonso Plots Evil Masterplan to Register Elusive 33rd Win of Illustrious F1 Career

Aston Martin‘s journey through the first half of the season has been nothing short of remarkable. The team’s astonishing transformation has seen them snatch six podiums in 12 races, a stark improvement over their seventh-place finish in the previous year’s constructors’ standings. The standout performer amidst this resurgence has been none other than the ageless Fernando Alonso. At 42, Alonso has defied the odds, securing two P2 finishes in Monaco and Canada. These podiums not only validate his prowess but also reveal his timeless brilliance on the racetrack, as he gears up to seize his elusive 33rd win.

In the aftermath of the qualifying session at the Dutch GP, Fernando Alonso shared his thoughts with a mix of intrigue and anticipation. The qualifying results positioned him in fifth place, trailing the pace-setter Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, George Russell, and the impressive Alexander Albon in his Williams. The anticipation for a podium finish is palpable, especially considering the exhilarating nature of the Zandvoort circuit. As Alonso traverses the track, there’s a sense that he’s crafting a masterplan, a calculated scheme to secure that elusive 33rd win that has eluded him for years.

Alonso’s post-qualifying comments shed light on his calculated approach to the upcoming race. He expressed his enthusiasm for the potential podium, but his comments during the press conference revealed a mischievous side, “Hopefully the first 3 or 4 will try gravel tomorrow. I am VERY EXCITED with the podium than I was in the last few races. We are two positions down. Hopefully, we can get a good start. Passing Albon would be interesting because his speed on the straight is sublime and on the track it will be more difficult. Turn 1 is iconic, and tomorrow hopefully we’ll see the first three or four cars test the gravel. It could be even more iconic,” letting out hearty laughter.

This seemingly innocuous remark veils a shrewd plan – a plan that involves pushing the boundaries of the track and challenging the limits of his adversaries. But beneath the humor lies a steely determination, a conviction that “El Plan” is far from over. Beyond his tactical machinations for his 33rd win, Alonso’s reflections on his past offer a deeper understanding of his motivations.

The biggest F1 regret of Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso’s illustrious career carries with it a tinge of regret–his inability to secure a World Championship title during his tenure with Ferrari. With candid honesty, Alonso confessed, “Winning a championship with Ferrari would probably be the first thing that I’d [change] if I could go back in time.” His admission lays bare the depth of his yearning for that elusive title, one that slipped through his fingers despite coming tantalizingly close in 2010 and 2012. But there’s a bigger regret that’s driving his fire.

The passage of time has fostered contemplation for Alonso. As he navigates his 42nd year, he admitted, “What I regret for sure was not enjoying [myself] more. My time, my career, I know that I’m at the end of it, and a new life, in few years’ time, for me [will be] without driving.” Alonso’s sentiments reflect a desire to extract the maximum from his experiences. He articulated, “If I had the opportunity to live my exact life once more, maybe I wouldn’t change anything on my team, my choices or the Ferrari title or whatever, I would just live all those moments a little more and try to have more memories.”
