Aston Martin have impressed with their car performance so far this season – while they have also enjoyed the rub of the green in the FIA offices.
Fernando Alonso may be the older active driver in Formula 1, but he has shown no signs of slowing down just yet. The Spaniard has a new lease of life with his new team and, thanks to their new-found competitiveness, the double champion has returned to the sharp end of the grid.
Alonso has finished third in all three races so far in 2023. And his team-mate Lance Stroll has also scored good points despite an unfortunate DNF in Saudi Arabia, with Aston Martin second in the constructors' standings behind only runaway leaders Red Bull.
