Fernando Alonso weighs in on Red Bull dominance… and sees a silver liningAlthough Red Bull look to be running rampant over their rivals, Fernando Alonso insists the gap is not as big as it appears.
With three wins from three races, including back-to-back 1-2 results to kick start the season, Red Bull are leading the charge. So much so that rivals such as George Russell fear they could win all 23 of this year’s races. However, Alonso, the only driver to join Max Verstappen on the podium in all three races, doesn’t believe the gap is as big as it is being made out to be.
Although he acknowledges that today Aston Martin being podium contenders is the maximum pace of the car, and the ability of the team as a whole, he is dreaming of challenging Verstappen for what would be his 33rd race win. After that comes a third World title with the 41-year-old pointing out that Melbourne’s Q1 spread of just 1.3s between the entire field means it is possible to close the gap to Red Bull.. “That is the team’s aim too.“That is why I came back to Formula 1 in 2021 after a couple of years out.“Yes, Red Bull are dominating but you don’t see big gaps – all the field is covered by 1.2/1.3 seconds – so maybe in a few years we’ll be right up there.
