Fernando Alonso logró puntuar a sus 44 años y 5 días en el revirado trazado de Hungaroring. De hecho, consiguió su mejor botín (5º en parrilla y 5º en carrera) del curso 2025. Habría que remontarse al Gran Premio de Arabia Saudí 2024 para encontrar un resultado tan notable como el de la cita previa al parón estival (en Jeddah fue 4º en parrilla y 5º en carrera). Habían pasado nada menos que 36 carreras en las que había sucedido de todo y en pocas ocasiones habían sido cosas realmente positivas para los intereses del bicampeón mundial de F1.
El caso es que en Hungría le fue tan bien que pudo dar un importante salto en la clasificación general de pilotos. Ahora mismo, Fernando es 11º con 26 puntos. Idéntica cifra atesora un Lance Stroll que empezó el certamen más entonado que el ovetense. Sin embargo, el ’14’ ha reaccionado y en cinco de las últimas seis pruebas ha sido capaz de extraer petróleo. El AMR25 no es un coche suficientemente competitivo para luchar por podios y victorias, aunque al menos ha sido mejorado con las sustanciales actualizaciones que han ido implementando los de Silvertone.
Sea como fuere, nadie está cuestionando el rendimiento de Alonso… salvo un analista de Planet F1, que ha provocado la reacción en redes sociales del veterano competidor español. Tras la disputa del evento celebrado en el circuito de Hungaroring, se pudo leer en la mencionada web un apartado dedicado a desglosar la actuación de Fernando.
“Ese don de Alonso de aprovechar todas las oportunidades que se le presentan sigue intacto. Pero la pregunta es si le está empezando a fallar el físico a Fernando. Lo que más preocupó en Budapest fue la última de una serie creciente de quejas físicas en los últimos 12 meses, en esta ocasión el tratamiento de una lesión muscular en la espalda que le obligó a quedarse fuera de la primera sesión de entrenamientos. El exigente calendario antes de concluir la primera mitad de 2025 ha vuelto a pasar factura a Fernando, que cumplió 44 años la semana pasada“, argumentaban.
La réplica de Alonso.
El argumento del inexorable paso del tiempo
Y proseguían con más datos para sostener la teoría de que Alonso ya no es el que era: “Al hablar de su lesión de hombro a finales del año pasado, Alonso habló de la necesidad de estar “más preparado físicamente” para la temporada 2025. No porque no estuviera en forma en 2024, sino porque su avanzada edad dicta que debe exigirle a su cuerpo más que nunca para poder seguir el ritmo de competidores lo suficientemente jóvenes como para ser sus hijos. Sigue siendo igual de ágil mentalmente. Su talento permanece prácticamente intacto. ¿Pero el físico está a la misma altura? De esa cuestión dependen las esperanzas de Fernando de lograr un último triunfo en 2026. Ni siquiera el gran Fernando Alonso, por mucho que lo intente, puede vencer al paso del tiempo“.
La réplica de Alonso
Pues bien, este jueves, el ’14’ ha contestado a través de Instagram a un post de Instagram de dicha publicación que sintetizaba la tesis de que Fernando puede estar empezando a bajar su nivel físico debido a su edad. Su réplica ha sido sucinta. Ha contestado con unos emoticonos de risa. Es evidente que Alonso se ve con suficiente cuerda como para continuar en la élite. Y por eso se mofa de comentarios que sugieren que debería pensar en retirarse ya.

Brewers’ NLDS Game 1 Win Over Cubs Tempered by Jackson Chourio’s New Injury
Another clutch playoff performance by Jackson Chourio had a concerning conclusion for the outfielder and the Milwaukee Brewers.After becoming the first player to collect three hits in the first two innings of a postseason game, Chourio left Saturday’s 9-3 NL Division Series victory over the Chicago Cubs with tightness in his right hamstring.Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Game 1 that Chourio had undergone an MRI. Chourio missed a month during the regular season with an injury to the same hamstring."They haven’t said anything," Chourio said through an interpreter. "We’re still waiting. But physically I feel good, and I feel in a position where I’m ready to keep going and keep competing."Murphy didn’t sound as optimistic."Obviously it’s real scary," he said. "Having that same hamstring injury to the same leg, we’re hoping that it’s something he can come back from […]
Can Billy Napier save his job again? Upset win over Texas a good start as Florida offense shows signs of life
Florida coach Billy Napier operates best with his back against the wall. For a second straight year, his Gators looked dead in the water before the midway point of the season. And, for a second straight year, Napier might be on the path back to redemption after Florida notched its second win of the season in a stunning 29-21 upset of No. 9 Texas. At the very least, his seat has cooled for another week. It's a movie that Florida fans have seen before. Fresh off a losing season in 2023, Florida started 4-4 in 2024, including a 13-point loss to unranked Texas A&M, a 24-point loss to Miami and a 14-point loss to Georgia. But just days after that loss to Georgia, Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin reaffirmed his faith in his embattled football coach. A rejuvenated Napier led Florida to a […]
Texas fails to live up to lofty hype: Offensive shortcomings plague Longhorns team ranked preseason No. 1
The 2025 college football season has already handed us plenty of curveballs and surprise teams, but as we take stock of the landscape with many teams approaching the midpoint of their year, it's hard to argue there's a more disappointing team in America than the Texas Longhorns. Other teams have fallen short of preseason expectations, and certainly many of those are playing much worse than the Longhorns, who fell to 3-2 with Saturday's 29-21 loss to unranked Florida in Gainesville. Texas' defense has been a shining star for much of the year, starting with a strong showing against No. 1 Ohio State in a 14-7 loss in Week 1 and continuing with absolute defensive gems through the rest of the nonconference slate. But as SEC play kicked off and the competition ramped up, Texas did not meet the moment. Ultimately, that should […]
Emmett Johnson powers Nebraska past Michigan State

Mandatory Credit: Kylie Graham-Imagn Images Emmett Johnson ran for 83 yards and three touchdowns and Carter Nelson returned a blocked punt for a score Saturday as host Nebraska rallied for a 38-27 victory over Michigan State. Dylan Raiola also completed 16 of 24 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown for the Cornhuskers (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten). The Spartans (3-2, 0-2 Big Ten) tied it at 14 in the third quarter when quarterback Aidan Chiles scored on a 16-yard run on a fourth-and-4 play. On the Cornhuskers' following possession, Raiola was intercepted by Jordan Hall. Seven plays later, Chiles ran four yards for a touchdown to give the Spartans their first lead, 21-14. […]

College football winners, losers in Week 6: UCLA rises from the ashes, preseason No. 1 Texas full of flaws
Week 6 of the college football season was framed as a lackluster slate. Instead, the midday slate took a blowtorch to expectations. Projected College Football Playoff teams No. 7 Penn State and No. 9 Texas lost stunners against unranked opponents to shake up the picture. The Nittany Lions' loss against UCLA was one of the most surprising losses of the season as 24-point favorites against a winless squad. No. 14 Iowa State similarly dropped a big game against Cincinnati that could have long-ranging implications for both programs. In the evening slate, there are still big-time battles remaining. No. 3 Miami travels to No. 18 Florida State in a heavyweight showdown. Ohio State tries to hold off an upset bid by Minnesota, and Texas Tech's elite trenches get tested by Houston. Here are the biggest winners and losers of college football's Week 6 heading […]
