Fernando Alonso will arrive this weekend Monza the record of Kimi Raikkonen of most Grand Prix contested in F1, with 350, and in the next race he will break this record. However, the Spaniard, who reiterated that he plans to stay “at least two or three more years in F1”, recalled that he does not look at these statistics and will definitely reach the the 400 Grand Prix. In that sense, he wants to highlight what is behind so many careers in the ‘Great Circus’: Performance and dedication to remain at the highest level despite his 41 years.
“I know the number because you repeat it to me every weekend, but I don’t look at the statistics very much. I’m happy to be in F1 for a few more years, in the next two or as long as F1 I will reach 400 for sure. This is a big number. It shows my passion for the sport, my discipline to perform at the highest level. If you don’t perform, you won’t make it to 400 races, for sure”he pointed out at the official press conference for the Italian GP.
STRREAK OF 10 RACE POINTS NEXT, FROM BARCELONA
“We are on a roll now. We found consistency although in these 10 races we were not completely out of trouble. I remember Barcelona, we had to change the engine and I started last, then came Austria, the car didn’t start before the sprint race and I had to start on Sunday, so we still have to improve a lot things to have full weekends. clean and if we do that we will probably be in the points for the next races.”
THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING THE PODIUM IN THIS FINAL STAGE
“We are in the same position where we started the year. We are behind the top three teams, so our natural position is 7th or 8th. We always need help from the cars in front, sometimes due to penalties like in Spa we started third on the grid and here there will be more penalties, like Carlos (Sainz) as I have heard. We can have a better starting position, but later in the race we will return to our natural position.
Expect a great performance from your car at MONZA
“I don’t think we have any particular rear wing or downforce for Monza. Let’s see how we perform here. The car did very well in Baku and Spa. I don’t see the reason why we can’t be competitive here, but I think there will be other races where we will also be fast, like maybe Suzuka, Austin…”.
