Ferrari: Fernando Alonso turns the knife back on itself

A flop that did not è go unnoticed.

Ferrari at the Singapore Grand Prix collected a fifth and seventh place with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, respectively, despite coming to the Marina Bay circuit with high ambitions after the win in Monza and the good signs that came in Baku. The weekend è however, was affected by poor qualifying, and meanwhile even an old friend of the Cavallino like Fernando Alonso decided to twist the knife.

The Spanish driver è remained in battle with Leclerc for a long time at the start of the race, even though he considered his Aston Martin vastly inferior to his rival’s SF-24. "Ferrari in Singapore should have won,” Alonso said bluntly. Probably over the whole weekend è it was the fastest car of all. That is also why having closed within a few seconds of them è positive, becauseé I should not have been in that kind of fight".

Alonso è moreover, one of the drivers capable of winning for Ferrari in Singapore, a track where some of the most memorable weekends of recent years have been recorded in history and others that instead fall among the nightmares that for fans of the Cavallino are moreù difficult to forget.

In addition to Alonso’s victory in 2010 (which prolonged Ferrari’s dream of winning that world championship, which later went to Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull) and Vettel’s own two successes in 2015 and 2019, Felipe Massa’s retirement in 2008 and those of Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen at the start of the 2017 Grand Prix remain engraved in the collective memory. This year’s disappointment, moreover, comes after Carlos Sainz’s 2023 triumph.
