Fernando Alonso throws up a wall of spray in the wet

SportLocation Formula 1 Desk · 18 Sept 2026

Fernando Alonso’s red car slices through a damp corner, then disappears in a burst of spray as the track opens out behind him.

Fernando Alonso’s red Formula 1 car makes the wet corner look narrow, then turns the exit into a plume of spray.

The key moment is not the approach but the release: once the car is straightened, the rear tyres fling water high enough to blur the racing line behind him.

That matters in conditions like these, where the driver who gets the car settled earliest can carry speed without asking too much of the tyres or the kerb.

Here, Alonso keeps the line tidy and leaves the bend with the track still hanging in mist behind him.
