Alonso has enjoyed a dream start to life at Aston Martin following a sensational transformation over the winter that has seen the Silverstone-based outfit go from midfield runner to Red Bull’s nearest challꩲenger. 

The two-time world champion scored a brilliant podium on his Aston Martin debut in Bahrain and has finished third in four of the first five races so far thi♔s 🌺season. 

Earlier this month, Alonso paജssed the 10-year-mark since his last F1 victory at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix which came while he was racing for Ferrari. 

But the 41-year-old reckons he can finally claim a long-awaited 33rd car▨eer victory this year. 

Asked by Sky Sports F1 presenter Martin Brundle whether he can win a race or two this season or two in 2023, Alonso replied🍷: “I think so, y🌌es.” 

He 🗹went on to pinpoint Monaco, Budapest and Singapore as Aston Martin’s🍃 “main hopes” of challenging Red Bull for victory. 

“Hopefully soon, I don't kn༺ow,” Alonso added. “We seem to have a car that is maybe not the fastest on the straights. We need to improve that, but we are very good on the corners.

"So, I would say that the slowest speeds of the championship, let's say Monaco, Budapest, Singapore. These kind of circuits, I think we put ou𓆉r main hopes at the moment.”

Alonso continued: "I think at the beginning of the year a podium was amazꦕing. Now after four podiums we want obviously more and at least a second plac༒e.

"But, you know, the two Red Bulls they🌟 are always unbreakable, and they are always super-fast.

"It [the Red Bull] is stronger, it's faster and the reliability has been always outstanding for them as well, finishꦜing both cars in every race.

"If one day there is a crack there, if there is an o♋pportunity, we need to make sure we are in that position and we're still not making mistakes at any point in the weekend."
