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

Alonso has now failed to record points in four of the last five race weekends.
