As Fernando Alonso climbed out of his Aston Martin in Miami on Saturday after qualifying it on the front row, just as he'd done in Jeddah, he was asked what it was that was gelling so well between him and his new team. "I think I've been always motivated," he said, "always working hard. I probably didn't always have the team believing in my performance – my ability to set up the car as well and to move forward. I didn't change anything but Aston Martin changed everything for me."
It was such a classic Alonso response, ticking several boxes at once: dissing those (Alpine boss Laurent Rossi) who had not believed in him and making the point that he'd always been performing at this level. Pride and off-the-scale competitive desire.
