Alonso hopeful about success in Miami Grand Prix
Last season, Aston Martin finished P7 in the championship standings while Alonso could only score enough points for a P9 finish with the Alpine F1 team. But heading into the 2023 season, Alonso joined hands with the Aston Martin F1 team, and ever since the beginning of the current campaign, the team has been fighting for the top spot in the championship.
Currently, the Silverstone-based team stands at P2 in the championship behind Red Bull and ahead of Ferrari and Mercedes after 4 races. In all the opening three races, Alonso grabbed the podium but the same was not the case last time out in Baku.
Affected by a series of problems in the AMR23, Alonso finished the race in the fourth position while his teammate Lance Stroll could only manage a P7 finish. However, going ahead, the 2x world champion is sure that they will be back to fighting for the top position in the next race at the Miami Grand Prix.
As quoted by Marca, Alonso said, “When you are one second behind another driver you risk losing the car at some point. I tried with Charles, but I lost the car once or twice when I was so close. I got up to try at the end, but he had a bit more pace and it wasn’t possible. We’ll try again in Miami.”
