The Spaniard has won twice in Singapore and has been on the podium four more times. It might be your time to shine
The great goal of Fernando Alonso before he leaves this winter from Alpine to Aston Martin is to get his podium number 99 in Formula 1. The Asturian has the Singapore race on his agenda in red, a track that he himself premiered with victory in 2008 and that he gives it to a thousand wonders.
You only have to look at his statistics to appreciate that this is a race where the two-time world champion can shine. He has won it twice, has been on the podium four more and his worst position -not counting a dropout- was the seventh square. The numbers show that Fernando knows this urban and nocturnal route like a charm.
The pilot saw his streak of 10 races in a row scoring points broken at the last round held in Monza, but everything seems to be quite forgotten. “The team has worked on the best ones and I can’t wait to try them”said an Alonso who hopes to be able to approach the level of the Mercedes.
This circuit has as obvious favorites a Red Bull team that is not going to leave the crumbs for the rest. Max Verstappen He has five consecutive wins and could be proclaimed as a mathematical champion at the end of this race if the Ferraris fail mainly.
The Dutchman has shown no fissures in this second half of the season with excellent driving that has made him impossible for his rivals. A [1.38] that not even the best Lewis Hamilton had signed in his years as undisputed champion.
Verstappen’s rivals
the only one that seems to be able to put Verstappen in check is a Charles Leclerc who expects the Ferrari to behave on this track. The Monegasque is fighting to the dog’s face for the runner-up position with Checo Pérez and Carlos Sainz and could hit the table in the form of a win at odds [4.50].
Precisely Carlos Sainz It is the third alternative to the odds victory [12.00] And given how the World Cup is, it could be a good option because Verstappen and Leclerc can come to touch on a narrow and very buzzy circuit. The man from Madrid is riding better than ever since his triumph at Silverstone.
Ultimately, we believe that review the quota of possible podium of Fernando Alonso to [16.00]Alpine has already made it clear that its painful breakup this summer is a thing of the past and that now the goal of the French brand is to access a podium where they have been a fixture since 2018 at some point in the season.
