Fernando Alonso’s Daring Move to Avoid Collision with Lewis Hamilton at Austrian Grand Prix

Drama unfolded at the Austrian Grand Prix as Fernando Alonso skillfully avoided a potential disaster with Lewis Hamilton in a heart-stopping battle that went unseen by TV cameras. The untelevised incident saw Alonso veering off the track as Hamilton made a risky move to overtake the two-time World Champion.

Alonso, driving for Aston Martin, secured a commendable seventh-place finish at the Red Bull Ring, marking his third top-ten result in the F1 2025 championship. Despite starting in 11th position, Alonso’s strategic one-stop approach propelled him ahead of Hamilton after a pit stop.

With Hamilton relentlessly pursuing him, Alonso found himself in a high-stakes situation. The Spaniard had to take evasive action to prevent a collision, running off the track to steer clear of the aggressive maneuver by the seven-time World Champion.

In the heat of the moment, Alonso communicated with his race engineer, Andrew Vizard, expressing his view on the intense battle with Hamilton. Despite the close call, Alonso maintained his focus and determination, ultimately finishing the 70-lap Grand Prix in seventh place.

Reflecting on his calculated approach during the race, Alonso revealed his strategy of strategically utilizing the Drag Reduction System (DRS) to maximize his speed behind a competitor, in this case, Liam Lawson. By shadowing Lawson and leveraging the DRS zones, Alonso was able to maintain a competitive pace and secure a points finish.

Alonso’s performance at the Austrian Grand Prix has elevated him to 13th in the Drivers’ Championship standings, tied with his teammate Lance Stroll. Aston Martin currently sits in eighth place in the Constructors’ Championship, demonstrating the team’s resilience and competitive spirit in the challenging F1 season.

The intense showdown between Alonso and Hamilton adds another chapter to the riveting narrative of the F1 2025 championship, showcasing the skill, strategy, and sheer determination of these world-class drivers on the prestigious racing circuit.
