Max Verstappen took his first grand prix win at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya with 33 on his car in 2016 and the same number will be a focus for Fernando Alonso fans when the Spaniard returns to the scene of his last victory.
“Mission 33” – the long-awaited 33rd career win has been a rallying cry for fans of the 41-year-old Spaniard, now enjoying a revival with Aston Martin.If the heart beats for Alonso, with even Verstappen admitting in Monaco last weekend that he would love to see his fellow double champion win again, the head points to Red Bull’s runaway championship leader.
The big ongoing questions are whether Red Bull can do the unprecedented and win all 22 races this season, whether Verstappen will take more than last year’s 15 victories and where the third title might be won. Verstappen won in Spain in May 2022, when the race was the sixth round, to take the overall championship lead and he has not relinquished it since.
He could face tougher opposition than last weekend with compatriot Carlos Sainz also eyeing a home win and Ferrari hoping upgrades will put the Italian team closer to the front. Sainz finished fourth last year, his best home result yet.
