Fernando Alonso He warned since Saturday. He started from the 5th place after a great classification in which he touched the pole when he stayed just 1 tenth of the first place and already thought of starting. In Hungary there is a lot of difference between the clean and dirty zone by the new asphalt and the Asturian knew it, so since the 5th place, clean zone, could attack. And it was for that reason in search of a complicated podium, but not impossible.
The Ovetense started very well before the lights of the traffic light and saw how before him, Norris He crossed to go inside. Fernando chose the outer zone to try. Russell went well and advanced it was not an option, but to a Lando that was stopped by Oscar Plastri inside. Alonso took advantage of it on the outside with a good traced and even placed George in parallel, but without having the interior of the subsequent curve. 4th was placed before one of the favorites to victory.
However, that position lasted the Asturian. It was impossible to keep a 'rocket' behind, the best car of the current grill, so superior on this track. AND Norris It happened in Tour 3 to return to the 5th place.
At least, Fernando fulfilled the aim of not losing positions at the start. He knew that if he did everything perfect, if the rhythm of his car responded, just like degradation, and if any of those above failed, the podium was difficult but not impossible. To this we had to add that Verstappen could arrive from behind at any time, with theoretical best car. Alonso went for it.
