He Bahrain Grand Prix For Fernando Alonso Going from less to more. After a difficult start in which he lost two positions to george russell there Lewis Hamilton and after a touch of Lance Stroll who could have put him out of the race, the double world champion of Formula 1 sharpened his fang.
The great management of the tires that he carried out, as well as the low degradation suffered by the Aston Martinallowed him to improve the lap times as he went through the turns and thus to get closer to the lead.
First, Alonso passed Russell; later finished a historic overtaking on Hamilton at turn 10, the most difficult of the route, to start tracking carlos sainz to fight for the podium after the abandonment of Charles Leclerc.
Well, it was that exact moment, when Fernando tracked down the Madrid man and hit him with the ‘axe’, the one that published the official account of the Formula 1.
In the video you can see the overtaking from two angles. On the one hand, classic ‘on board’ d’Alonso; on the other hand, from back view of Sainz.
The double world champion “cooked” the pass over low heat, forced Carlos to change lines, bluffed him several times and finished the action in a straight line. Gorgeous.
