How much patience can Fernando Alonso have?

The best They know Fernando Alonso say he doesn’t get tired Never drive. That he likes to go to the limit, find his best times and try to dream. But the beginning of 2025 is from absolute nightmare. Nothing comes out and Its 2025 is at the height of the debut with MINARDI (another time, no doubt) and that first course with the McLaren-Honda project. He did not score in that course until the ninth race (10th in Silverstone) and marked that second stage in Woking.

In Miami, the whole season was repeated. The opportunity was in the Sprint, and the ‘real’ race only evidenced the suffering of a car that neither rotates nor goes fast in any type of circuit. Alonso He is the one who leaves him in an unreal place, as happened with the Friday SQ3. “I am great, but the results are very bad,” he said. He was right.

Infinite patience?

With the 14th of the race in Miami the question returns. How much patience does Alonso do? Is it infinite? Because Fernando, for now, has not changed his speech and focuses on 2026, where he will meet Adrian Newey and a new regulation. I hope it arrives with the motivation intact after a season that is presupposed Very complicated according to the performance of AMR25. The worst – or second worst – grid car.

Although it must be grabbed. The current Aston Martin has nothing to stand out and although improvements will come, the general panorama should not change radically. It is a pity that we will perceive that of the year lost in a career like that of Fernando. The biggest talent with worse luck in the history of F1.

Piastri, champion

There are no doubt: Oscar Piastri is the legitimate leader of McLaren and the maximum favorite to the world title. The Australian won his third race to the thread – sprint apart – and left a scandal movement against Max Verstappen, the ogre that bitter the almighty British team. Piastri was intelligent, aggressive and led Max to error. Masterly.

And it is not the first time he does. He already made clear his intentions in the start of Jeddah and adds a tremendous melee. The McLaren was the best car and needed such a pilot. Cold, calculator and already with maneuvers To be considered a legitimate champion.

Sainz didn’t deserve it …

Carlos Sainz saved A more than positive 9th place and continues to add points to his account, but deserved something else. He went well, had rhythm, but in the ‘Virtual Safety Car’ he met the two Ferrari attached to the relaunch. They took advantage of the situation to throw themselves into Spanish, which could not do much more and had to lose the position.

His performance and level is positive for what could be the weekend in Miami. That had ‘operational’ and ‘pilot’ errors, as he himself acknowledged, But where he continues to find more and more than a very solid FW47. They will not evolve it, but they are in a position to trust a step forward as more races come for ’55’.

Verstappen is always

Max Verstappen finished 4th and suffered again with a Red Bull that has improved but is not, from far, the best grid car. But the Dutch He signed defenses of an incredible level. It did not allow the superiors McLaren to pass with difficulty, led to the limit to Norris and Piastri, and left maneuvers of high value. It is a competitive animal.

He did not podium and that may summarize a weekend where he did not add points and did not find great moments beyond the brutal pole. But he is a different category pilot. One in which his pages companions Gold are names like Schumacher, Fangio or Senna. Time will demonstrate it.
