Round 13
Circuit Zandvoort
Zandvoort, Netherlands
Sunday, 27 August 2023
Fernando Alonso will be keen to become the first Spanish driver to win the
Dutch Grand Prix and add it to his long list of achievements.
Most recent race
The Alfa Romeo driver narrowly missed out on a podium spot at the Belgian Grand Prix on July 30 as he finished fifth having started ninth on the grid.
Therefore, Alonso picked up 10 points and hopes of winning the Formula One world championship are still alive.
Formula One title ambitions
The two-time Formula One world champion is still placed third on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 149 points with 10 races left.
Alonso is 40 points and 165 points behind the Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT duo of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen respectively.
Why Alonso could win the 2023 Dutch MotoGP
The accomplished racing driver has never won the Dutch Grand Prix and he will be determined to change this this weekend.
Having finished second at this year's Monaco Grand Prix and Canadian Grand Prix, Alonso will be eyeing his first win of the season at the Circuit Zandvoort.
What did he say?
“I was a little bit worried if we would fall back and the pace would not be good enough to keep that position," Alonso said after the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix.
"But it was good today, the car felt fast, we kept one Mercedes behind, one McLaren behind, so we were in the mix and that's good news before the summer break. I think today the car felt more normal.
"We had a few thoughts after Hungary, after Silverstone, so the team was making a few setup changes also to the car, and I think it paid off today. The car felt more normal, more competitive, so yes, happy and a good boost for summer.”
