A Formula 1 from another era, a

from another era.

Almost a decade later, the show returns, the Spaniard returns to the podium.

For many years, in his very long transit through McLaren and Alpine, he needed an accumulation of other people's calamities to dream of a drawer.

Not anymore.

This Sunday in Bahrain, in the first race of the year, in his debut at Aston Martin, Alonso finished third and did so without incident, on his own merits.

He only needed luck for an abandonment:

withdrew due to a battery problem and opened the gates of heaven for him.

The rest was up to you.

[Narration and statistics]

Two overtaking, two, one violent against

, an old enemy, and another delicate one against

, an old friend, earned him a celebration with champagne at the Sakhir circuit.

All the indications from the tests, from the preseason, from the training sessions were true: in this World Cup he will fight for everything.

Only the much faster Red Bulls, with

first and

second, seem out of reach.

The rest of the adversaries, including the Ferrari, will have to answer before him.

A Formula 1 from another era, a

from another era.
