Alonso has enjoyed a dream sta💝rt to life at Aston Martin following a sensational transformation over the winter that has seen the💫 Silverstone-based outfit go from midfield runner to Red Bull’s nearest challenger. 

The two-time world champion scored a brilliant podium on his Aston Martin debut in Bahrain and has finish🌠ed third in f🗹our of the first five races so far this season. 

Earlier🎐 this month, Alonso passed the 10-year-mark since hওis last F1 victory at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix which came while he was racing for Ferrari. 

But the 41-yeཧar-old reckons he can finally claim a long-awaited 33rd career victory this year. 

Asked by Sky Sports F1 presenter Martin Brundle whether he can win a race or two this season or twꦓo in 2023, Alonso re🧜plied: “I think so, yes.” 

He went on to pinpoint Monaco, Budapest and Singapore as Aston Martin’s “main hopes” of challenging Red Bull for victory.&nbs🌳p;

“Hopefully soon, I don't know,” Alonso added. “We seem to have a ca🐼r that is maybe not the fastest on the straights. We need to improve that, but we are very good on the corners.

"So, I would say that the slowest speeds of the championship, let's say Monaco, Budapest, Singapore𒈔. These kind of circuits, I think we put our main hopes at the moment.”

Alonso continued: "I think at the ꦗbeginning of the year a podium was amazing. Now after four podiums we want obviously more and at least a second place.

"But, you know, the two Red Bulls they are always 𝕴unbreakable,♉ and they are always super-fast.

"It [the Red Bull] is stronger, it's faster and꧑ the reliability has been always outstanding for them as well, finishing both cars in every race.

"If one day there is a crack there, if there is an opportunity, we need to make sure we 🍎are in that position and we're still not making mistakes at any point in the weekend."
