Fernando Alonso Show: he overtakes Lewis Hamilton on the outside despite having a worse car

Fernando Alonso starred, without a doubt, in one of the advances of the year in the F1 Brazilian GP 2026 this Sunday. The driver from Oviedo, with a car with which he was 18th in the dry in Free Practice 3, after shining in the wet in qualifying, once again took advantage of the delicate track conditions to make a difference with his hands in this Sunday’s race.

Everyone started with the intermediate rubber for the race, but the track was close to being suitable for dry tires, although the grip was quite poor. There, the man from Oviedo, even after a touch with bearmanbegan to print a spectacular rhythm with a Aston Martin that in these conditions it did not suffer from its great lack of power in its Honda engine.

The Spaniard started to ride much faster than Leclerc, Lindblad, hamilton, bearman, Albon, Piastri, HulkenbergLawson or Russell. I was flying at a time when all pilots were already suffering from the wear of their intermediate rubber. And such was the rhythm of the man from Oviedo that gave home to Lewis Hamilton. And not only that, he advanced it masterfully.

The man from Oviedo went all out despite having a worse car than lewis and he overcame it with a spectacular overtake to place 12th. And he continued pushing. He came to hunt down the other Ferrarithat of Leclercand he squeezed it until he was within two tenths. Fernando had the front tires already open, very worn, but he continued to push with everything.

Finally, Hamilton was the first to stop to put dry tiresand Alonso would do so a turn later. This meant that when the man from Oviedo returned to the track, he did so again after Lewis. At that time, Alonso was still faster, but with the track becoming drier, things returned to their usual place and the Aston Martin lost the rhythm it had in the wet. But by then, Fernando had already left his signature.
