Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin move still makes little sense.
Fernando Alonso spent 2022 stringing together another improbably excellent run at Alpine, consistently collecting points and claiming a respectable ninth in the Formula 1 world driver's championship. Then, part of the way through the season, he announced a shocking move to Aston Martin, replacing retiring champion Sebastian Vettel. Thanks in part to Alonso's performance, AlpineThis is the ninth installment of our driver-by-driver preview of the 2023 Formula 1 season.
There, he fought for titles in four seasons before ultimately coming up short to Sebastian Vettel by varying degrees in each. A relatively weak 2014 saw him leave for a second stint at McLaren, the most ill-fated of his ill-fated runs with a prestigious team.
Alpine came calling when Daniel Ricciardo left before the 2021 season, leading to Alonso's third stint at the program he won championships with when it ran as Renault. He stayed with the team for two seasons, most notably helping teammate Esteban Ocon win a race in 2021 with some excellent defensive driving.While Alonso did not beat the younger Ocon in the championship standings in 2022 as he did in his first year at Alpine, his 2022 was still a clear success.
