The prospect of Fernando Alonso ending a decade-long wait for his 33rd Formula One win in front of tens of thousands of fans at his home race proved too good to be true on Sunday.
Alonso turned in his worst performance of the season when the two-time former world champion finished the Spanish Grand Prix in seventh place, one spot behind Aston Martin teammate Lance Stroll.
Alonso was passed by George Russell in his Mercedes and Sergio Perez in his Red Bull, even if he did manage to keep well ahead of a struggling Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. Alonso is third in the points standings at 71 points behind Verstappen and 18 points behind the other Red Bull driver, Sergio Perez, in second.
