Fernando Alonso

Aston Martin F1 Team
Spain
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Two-time series champion Alonso will make the switch from Alpine, the team he returned to Formula One with after a two-season sabbatical, to Aston Martin for the 2023 season. Alonso scored one podium in his two seasons with the squad and finished ninth in last season's championship. The former champion's input will be critical for Aston Martin to improve on their seventh-place rank in 2022. He is a demanding figure that contributed greatly to Alpine's car development throughout the season, which is an area where Aston Martin has not been as successful. Equally important is that Alonso's switch is not a single-season deal. He intends to be with the outfit for the long term, which will foster consistency and growth in expectations. His input to the new season's car will be critical in assessing how quickly this pairing will bear fruit, but this should be a team that grows stronger as the season grows older. Read Past Outlooks
Defends fiercely for teammate
Formula One
May 27, 2024
Alonso finished 11th at the Monaco Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit de Monaco on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Alonso shockingly qualified 14th for the race, though his standing immediately improved after both Haas drivers were disqualified and after Esteban Ocon was forced to retire on the first lap of the race due to damage. Alonso sat in 12th for much of the race and played the role of good teammate, slowing down the traffic behind him midway through the grand prix to let teammate Lance Stroll pit without losing P11. After Stroll was forced to pit a second time, Alonso inherited 11th place but could not gain additional ground. He's now failed to tally points in each of his last two races.
