🔥 Not only is this a great chassis versus engine demonstration, but it also goes to show how phenomenal of a driver Fernando Alonso really is…

Pursuing the Williams through high-downforce technical sectors, Fernando Alonso uses precise placement and high cornering speed to completely close the gap through every turn.

The moment they hit the straightaway, the Mercedes-powered Williams uses its straight-line speed advantage to pull away, only for Alonso’s Aston Martin to reel it right back in as soon as aerodynamic balance and mechanical grip take over.

It’s a textbook example of how driver skill and chassis tuning can offset a top-speed deficit, proving why the two-time World Champion remains one of the sharpest racers on the grid.

Do you think Fernando Alonso is still in the top 3 drivers on the current grid in terms of raw racecraft?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
