Alonso warns Alpine: “Let’s see if…”

In his remarks, Fernando Alonso he always had the ability to drop ideas he considered key. And again, he did it in his words after the classification of GP of the United States of F1, in Austin. First, when asked on ‘DAZN F1’ about what happened to ‘qualy’, the Asturian was satisfied with finishing again in Q3 with a car where his teammate. Stephen Ocon He did not pass Q1 (18th), something that the Asturian wanted to highlight because it made clear his good performance in a difficult classification, with a delicate track due to changes in the wind. And secondly, when asked about a race where he will start 14th due to an engine change (he was 9th in ‘qualy’), the Spaniard made sure the message was heard loud and clear: “Let’s see if we can come back with a good strategy”. It is no accident that I say this. In Japan the appointment ended with a radio message in which he complained about his team’s tactics throughout the year, something he later pointed out, with less force, in front of the media.

“After Q1 and Q2 I still expected 7th or 8th, but after FP3 in the morning we saw that we were not very competitive, in fact, Esteban was left behind in Q1, which is not very normal for us… so Going into Q3 and in the end finishing 9th, I’m more or less satisfied. But with the engine change and everything, tomorrow (today, Sunday) from the 14th, it will be a race with a few leg changes. We’ll try to finish 8th. or 9th, I think that will be the target for this Sunday”, commented the Spanish driver on DAZN, regretting the positions lost due to the penalty in a race where starting 9th could have chosen for some good points .

“The goal is to be close to McLaren. Even if I was ahead of Lando in qualifying, I would have freed the position because of the penalty, so it’s not really a goal, but this Sunday I think we have more race pace than we showed in the time. test and let’s see if we can come back with a good strategy. And as I say: 8th or 9th or close to Lando is the target.” Fernando Alonso wants to score points in the United States.
