Alonso narrowly missed out on the drivers’ championship to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel at the final race in 2012 even though for the majority of th♎e year, he didn’t have a car capable of finishing on the podium in normal circumstances.

In 2023, Alonso led Aston Martin to eight podium finishes, and currently sits fifth in the drivers’ standings, level on points with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Carlos Sainz.

Reflecting on the season as a whole, he said: “I’m happy with the personal performance. “I think 🌊together with 2012 is theꦏ best season for me personally.

“I rate the best season in my ꦑdriving and I was happy with everyt📖hing. I was motivated, I was fit, I was performing in difficult conditions sometimes.

“Bahrain, Monaco, Canada, Monza and Brazil💯 would be my top five [raceꦿs] of the year.

“I put Monza on purpose because it was a𝔉 ninth place. It was not a podium, it was nothing that people will remember, but probably we had the slowest car in Monza or the second slowest and to be in the points was one of those weekends where everything was very good.”

Alonso conceded ✱that Monaco was ꦏhis best chance of a victory since 2013.

“I think it was possible,” he add🐎ed. “Probably Monaco was the closest, I guess a tyre call change or something.

“Maybe Zandvoort if we were in a different pos🤪ition in t💎hat restart. Probably we had opportunities here and there, but I believe we deserve it [a win] more than anybody else this year.”
