F1: Fernando Alonso’s biggest regret

Having reached the podium eight times this season, Fernando Alonso has long come close to his 33rd career victory without ever achieving it. The Spaniard believes that his best chance of triumph presented itself in Monaco but the inevitable Max Verstappen finally won. This is Alonso’s biggest regret in 2023.

When no one was expecting him anymore, Fernando Alonso had its best season in eight years. The paddock veteran was able to take advantage of the unexpected performances of his Aston Martin at the start of the year to string together podiums. He could even have won a Grand Prix but one Red Bull always came to thwart his plans.

“I think it was possible”

Fernando Alonso regrets having missed his chance, particularly in Monaco Grand Prix. « Win a Grand Prix? I think it was possible. In Monaco it was probably the closest, with a better call for tire change or something. Maybe at Zandvoort if we had been in a different position on that restart or something. We probably had chances to win here and there, and yes, I think we deserved it more than anyone this year », regretted Alonso in remarks relayed by Nextgen-Auto. Carlos Sainz is the only driver to have beaten a Red Bull this year, at Singapore. A deserved victory according to the double world champion.

“It was strategically brilliant”

« There is nothing to say about Carlos (Sainz) and his victory in Singapore, it was strategically brilliant. This is the last little detail that we didn’t put in place to succeed in taking one from Max (Verstappen) this year “, added Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard still remains confident in his strengths and hopes to return to victory in 2024, eleven years later.
