Fernando Alonso gave a recital of what is the management of tires in the Formula 1 With his Carrer in the Hungary Grand Prix. He did not have the best car, but put it among the three fastest in the weekend with a magical performance both defensive and offensive that placed fifth, only below the McLaren, George Russell y Charles Leclerc.
Alonso's management was excellent. After lesson to the winner Lando Norris at the exit to remove the fourth position and that logically that of McLaren would return it with much more rhythm, Aston Martin He ordered him to be careful with the middle tire and thus Gabriel Bortoleto He started approaching. But, oh friend, when they gave him green light to squeeze almost a second by return to the Sauber pilot, represented by his agency.

He got second in a mirage ahead of Leclerc, Oscar Plate And Russell after his stops, did not waste time and let the first two and held back 26 to the one of Mercedes. Aston Martin was forced to hit so as not to get him out of boxes with the track full of traffic, as happened to Max Verstappenhis great rival for the fifth position.
And he did. Alonso entered the 39, Bortoleto and Liam Lawson They followed him and his career was already a face to face against what he wanted to do Verstappen. If he stretched a hard rubber of more than 20 laps as many would be sixth, but he dreamed with the collapse of wheels of the Red Bull and access the Top 5. The Asturian imitated the sensational of the first Stint with the second, miming the hard in the first turns and pressing once in temperature.

Alonso Fifth of Hungary and Eleventh of the World Cup
Verstappen entered, Alonso was fifth again and in the Tour 56 he already out of three seconds in Bortoleto after an imperial defense career. From that moment, he only had to close his great weekend and excite himself that McLaren's papaya standards ended with Piastri reaching Norris and with hostilities that gave him some more position.
He was close to taking his partner in the penultimate return ahead, but did not happen, although not the performance of Alonso loses greatness. The Asturian signed his best result from the Saudi Arabia GP 2024 and scale until the eleventh position of the pilot table, being at a point of Esteban Ocon for the Top 10 and return to a more realistic position.
