Most recent race
The Alfa Romeo driver narrowly missed out on a podium spot at the Austrian Grand Prix on July 2 and his 33rd victory in the sport remains elusive.

Formula One title ambitions
The 2019 24 Hours of Daytona champion is still placed third on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 131 points from nine races.
Alonso is 17 points and 98 points behind the Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT duo of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen respectively.
Why Alonso could win the 2023 British MotoGP
The 41-year-old knows what it takes to win the British Grand Prix having won the event in 2006 and 2011.
Alonso finished fifth in last year's British Grand Prix and will be determined to win the race for the third time when he competes at the Silverstone Circuit.
What did he say?
"This circuit didn’t suit our car last year so maybe there is something for us to look into," Alonso said after the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix.
'Overall, we've scored a number of points over the Sprint weekend and we’ve made some ground on second position in the Constructors' Championship.
"It's a long season and we have our home race at Silverstone next week. It’s an incredible track so we will give it our all."
