TREMAYNE: Alonso’s re-emergence is the feel-good story of 2023 – and his best chance of a win is coming soon

Habitual success can breed complacency, a sense of entitlement or enhanced ambition. Guess which one applies to Fernando Alonso…

It’s tempting to suggest that four podium finishes and a fourth place from the first five races of 2023 have reignited the 41-year-old Spaniard. But that would be unfair because I firmly believe he’s been reignited ever since he made his comeback with Alpine in 2021.
