As the engines roar to life in Baku, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Fernando Alonso, the seasoned veteran of Formula 1. After a heartbreaking retirement in Monza due to a rear suspension failure, the two-time world champion is on a mission to extend his impressive points streak in the Azerbaijani capital. With a flawless record in Baku—having scored points in all six previous races—Alonso is determined to keep that streak alive this Sunday.

There are often strong winds, and the track evolves significantly throughout the weekend. It should be an interesting event—let’s see if we can secure some points.” His confidence is backed by a history of success, but he remains cautious: “In the past, this track has favored us, but every year it feels different. The walls are unforgivingly close, and the circuit’s continuous evolution means it’s never the same in any session.”
The unpredictable weather could add an extra layer of drama to this thrilling race weekend, with the potential for rain looming over the city. “This could make for a very intriguing Baku,” Alonso noted. “We have to remain laser-focused; this is a circuit where mistakes are simply unacceptable.”
With a fierce determination and the pressure of his past successes riding on his shoulders, Alonso is set to take on the challenges that lie ahead. As fans eagerly await the race, one thing is certain: the Baku Grand Prix promises to be a spectacle filled with high-octane drama, and Fernando Alonso will be at the center of it all, striving to add yet another chapter to his legacy. Will he conquer the towering walls of Baku and maintain his flawless points streak? The answer awaits on the asphalt of Azerbaijan.
