Fernando Alonso Kills Two Birds With One IndyCar
Fernando Alonso Kills Two Birds With One IndyCar-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:23

You didn’t think world’s best unlucky racer Fernando Alonso would have a perfect run of good car luck during today’s , did you? Au contraire, mi amigos: Alonso just mulched up two birds with his shiny new Andretti Autosport IndyCar.

Fortunately, Alonso’s test has gone well so far, as he quickly knocked out the required rookie practice laps this morning.
