F1: Fernando Alonso’s Last Chance for His Future—It Will Be Decided in Hungary

Now or never. Fernando Alonso is eagerly awaiting the chance to get behind the wheel of the new Aston Martin and see whether or not it will be competitive. After a nightmare start to the season, with just one point scored, he wants to return to the forefront, just like in the old days.

The Hungarian Grand Prix takes place this weekend. This is a crucial race for Aston Martin, which will debut a new car, completely redesigned by Adrian Newey. Everyone expects a significantly better car than the one seen so far (rumors suggest increased power—about 50 cavalli more from the engine—and a higher-performance chassis)..

Above all, the two-time Spanish World Champion is counting on it, tired of battling at the back of the pack and light-years behind the leaders.

Clearly, the Spanish driver’s future will depend heavily on how competitive the new Aston Martin—set to debut at the historic Hungaroring circuit—will be. Fernando Alonso is tired of waiting for his big break. After the disappointment at the start of the season, he’s hoping this will finally be his chance.
