Fernando Alonso is back in the fight, firing up the old spark after Aston Martin unleashed a massive 16-part upgrade package for Hungary — and it worked. For the first time this season, Alonso cracked Q2, describing the session as a complete reset where he could finally compete and shape his starting spot. The overhaul touched everything from the front wing to the rear suspension, signaling a serious push up the grid. Even Honda’s upcoming upgrades hint at more to come. Alonso called the newfound competitiveness an adrenaline rush he’d been missing — the kind that comes from feeling every lap count. While race-day points remain out of reach, he’s optimistic about unlocking more potential, especially as the new parts face their first real endurance test. For Alonso, it’s not about championship dreams yet — it’s about rediscovering his edge, and this weekend feels like the start of something special.
