Bahrain
The Spanish Fernando Alonso (Alpine) was back behind the wheel of a car during the second practice session of the pre-season test of Bahrain Formula 1, and has drawn an extraordinary second position in the morning session, only behind the Australian Daniel Ricciardo (McLaren), followed by the Mexican Sergio “Checo” Pérez by Red Bull.
After two years away from the ‘Great Circus’, the two-time world champion is in one formula 1 in the Sakhir circuit, in a session where all eyes were focused before, during and after boarding the Alpine A521For example, he took over from his partner Esteban Ocon, who filmed Friday, to test himself in a test with the last five minutes private and they couldn’t see.
The Asturian, who had not driven F1 since then Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from 2018, he jumped onto the tarmac in his brand new electric blue car and soon stormed the table, which he even led during the first leg.
Only the Australian Daniel Ricciardo (McLaren) managed to get him out of first position with a time of 1: 32.215, 0.124 better than the Spaniards, although both times are still a long way from Friday’s, something to be corrected in the afternoon.
