On social media, Fernando Alonso entitled this close-up shot of himself in Aston Martin’s simulator, “Locked in. No distractions”.
And that’s exactly what the picture conveys: a laser-focused F1 driver, ensconced in his team’s sim, his eyes fixed on the virtual track unfolding before him.
Aston and Alonso’s preparations for 2024 are in full flight. Team and driver face the big task of recapturing their early-season form from last year and re-establishing themselves as proper contenders for podiums and hopefully victories.
At 42, Alonso’s determination remains unwavering, his hunger for victory undimmed.
But the road ahead is fraught with obstacles, and the path to success will require not only individual brilliance but also collective effort. Bring it on!
