Max Verstappen thinks Fernando Alonso could be capable of winning races this season with Aston Martin showing strong pace in the first race of the year.
No-one was capable of touching Red Bull during the Bahrain Grand Prix. Verstappen sped off into the distance from the moment the lights went out and Sergio Perez, after an initial tussle with the Ferraris, was able to finish comfortably in second place.
But the podium was not completed by a Ferrari or a Mercedes – as would usually be the case – but by an Aston Martin. Alonso had driven the AMR23 superbly and the Spaniard was clearly loving how competitive his machine was on track.
