Fernando Alonso He continues to extend his legend with each passing weekend and in this 2023 Formula 1 season the Spaniard is proving that age is just a number.
Below is his history and palmares also in Zandvoort.
Fernando Alonso’s Dutch Grand Prix record
Despite Fernando Alonso’s wide and long career in his world motor sports it was only 2021 when he competed in the Circuit Zandvoort for the first time. The Spanish driver had never raced at the Dutch circuit before, neither in Formula 1 nor in the lower categories, which was no excuse for not scoring a great result.
Inside this Dutch Grand Prix Last year the Asturian corrected a somewhat disappointing ranking by finishing ninth with a flawless Sunday. Alonso gained two places in the first round, where it remained until the stops. All indications were that he would end up in a more than deserved seventh place, but on the last lap he managed to pass Carlos Sainz for sixth place.
An unbeatable finish that made it clear he still had the speed of the past.
2022 was far from easy as he found movement in qualifying and was eliminated in Q2, starting 13th. However, the best was yet to come as on Sunday Alpine prepared a perfect strategy that allowed him to move up several positions. Alonso saw the checkered flag in 7th but a penalty at the front moved him up to 6th.
