Good day! What a moment F1 gave us yesterday, it had been years since we saw Fernando Alonso with a competitive car and it seems that this year, at least, he will be close to the podiums. In Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2, the Spaniard set two great times on the soft tire and finished 2nd and 1st respectively. In addition, the Spaniard had a devilish pace in the race simulation, coming to match the pace of verstappen, the champion and top favorite to win as a three-time champion this year. worse luck had Carlos Sainzwho was unable to enjoy a traffic-free lap on the soft tire and ended up finishing both Free Practice sessions far behind his conceivable place.
What can we expect in these Free 3? Lots of play and hide-and-seek on the part of all the teams, as we are two hours away from the start of qualifying and there, the drivers will have to put their entire arsenal on the table. We’ll see if they opt for the soft tire to do a little qualifying simulation, but nothing to do with what we’ll have from 4:00 p.m. in MARCA.comof course.
The temperature, much higher than in qualifying and in the race, will prevent us from seeing all that the single-seaters can give of themselves. The top 5 times yesterday were: 1º F. Alonso Aston Martin 1’30″907 22, 2º M. Verstappen Red Bull 1’31″076 +00″169 21, 3º S. Perez Red Bull 1’31″078 +00″171 23, 4th C. Leclerc Ferrari 1’31″367 +00″460 23 and 5th N. Hulkenberg Haas 1’31″376 +00″469
can alonso face the two again Red Bull? We tell you everything at MARCA.com, with all the times, radios, moments and classification of Free Practice 3, yes, sit back, relax and enjoy this moment, because just a few months ago, this was unthinkable. The possibility of seeing two Spaniards on the podium is real. WE BEGIN!
