Fernando Alonso was cock-a-hoop after his first outing in an Aston Martin car.
The Spaniard took to the track in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, during the post-season test. It was organised to give young drivers an opportunity and for tyre suppliers Pirelli to gain some valuable data - but with several drivers making moves this winter it is also a chance for them to drive in their new colours for the first time.
Alonso was one of them, and instead of the blue and pink Alpine, the Spaniard was behind the wheel of the strikingly green Aston Martin AMR22. And after a frustrating season filled with reliability woes, he spent much of his first day with his new team beaming.
