Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel. Rivals in their time, and drivers who, during their long F1 careers, drove for several teams. Teams like Ferrari and Aston Martin. In Maranello, it was first the Asturian, then the German; at Silverstone, it’s the opposite. And the comparisons, of course, and even if, as they say, they are odious, They didn’t have to wait.
The last one between the two comes from ‘Formula.de’. It was Marc Surer, former Swiss Formula 1 driver and now commentator, who highlighted the aspect in which Fernando Alonso is capable to become a teacher at Aston Martin.
Because, for him, the Asturian is able to get the most out of each car. Whatever you put on it. Drive whatever you have to drive, it always seems make the most of each car.
And this Vettel… no. At least that’s how the Swiss see it: if the car isn’t perfect, Vettel won’t be able to drive perfectly. We’ve already seen it at Ferrari.”
“If you have a car that does what it should do, that’s unique, but that hasn’t always been the case. It hasn’t happened at Aston Martin either,” he insists. .
There, Fernando is superior: “Alonso beats the car all over the track, and that’s something that’s visually noticeable.”
“That’s why Fernando is so much superior to Stroll than what Vettel managed to do,” says Surer.
The truth is that the difference between Seb and Lance in 2022 was only 15 points. Alonso, with the World Cup still ahead of him, He already scores 127 on the Canadian.
