Fernando Alonso is reportedly on the radar of the Aston Martin F1 team once more in 2023, replacing Sebastian Vettel.
Fernando Alonso, who returned to F1 with the Alpine F1 Team last year, has made a strong start in terms of performance, although it is not reflected in the points this year, which is the second season.
Fernando Alonso scored only two points in the first four rounds, but was unlucky, including engine trouble in Saudi Arabia and retirement in Imola, where he lost most of his side pods due to Mick Schumacher’s contact. There is no doubt. In Australia, he looked like a pole position candidate until he crashed in qualifying Q3 due to hydraulic problems.
On the other hand, in the Aston Martin F1 team, Sebastian Vettel has scored twice as many points as Fernando Alonso so far, but in terms of pace, the Alpine F1 team is clearly a stronger team.
The Aston Martin F1 team has the ambition to be a title candidate within the next five years, but the 2022 season stumbled at the start, with Sebastian Vettel and teammate Lance Stroll in the fourth round of Imola. He finished 8th and 10th and scored the slowest first point of all the teams on the grid.
However, the Aston Martin F1 is far from the competition to challenge the top team, leading to new speculation that Sebastian Vettel may leave the team.
In such a situation, F1-Insider.com reports that Fernando Alonso is on the Aston Martin radar. Alonso was accused of transferring to the Aston Martin F1 team even prior to the 2022 campaign, when Vettel’s future was uncertain.
According to the report, Fernando Alonso, who has not yet extended his contract with the Alpine F1 Team since 2022, said that team owner Lawrence Stroll’s “hope” if he needed to find a replacement for Sebastian Vettel. He added that he was a driver.
