Already, Fernando Alonso has finished on the podium three times this season. With his performances this season for Aston Martin, the Spaniard is warming the hearts of F1 fans. Even to the highest echelons of the sport.

Formula 1 director Stefan Domenicali is the next to praise Alonso this season. In an interview with Die Welt, the Italian told what a unique driver Alonso is in his eyes. "Alonso's comeback is fantastic, for him, for Formula 1 and everyone," the Formula 1 CEO said. "He is a real role model, a frame of reference for everyone. He shows what you can achieve if you never give up and always give everything."


Still nowhere near a win

Alonso has proved to be Red Bull Racing's main challenger for now, although he has not yet come close to a Grand Prix win this season. Nevertheless, the progress he has made with Aston Martin is immense. Just the fact that he is starting to challenge Max Verstappen, Domenicali calls 'pure magic'.

Alonso has been waiting a decade for his 33rd Grand Prix victory. Alonso is also eager for that third world title. He is currently third in the championship, behind Verstappen and number two Sergio Perez.
