Fernando Alonso I can’t believe what I did. Like most fans who watched Austin’s career and his final appearance in the GP of the United States. The Spaniard said he was “terrified” when his car exploded after the accident take a walk on lap 22. Miraculously, despite hitting the wall, he got back on track and was able to continue. He didn’t even explain. He came to the pits with the ‘Safety Vehicle’ at the track, he changed the wing and tires and said he was going to hard rubber. Alonso thought he couldn’t do the remaining 32 laps with that tire, and from 16th position he was still gritting his teeth “with fear in his body”, overtaking everyone on the track , to finish 7th in a great practice. way. “It has been my race of the year,” said Fernando on ‘DAZN F1’, still in disbelief and thankful for nothing to do with his hard crash at 300 km/h against the Canadian.
HIS BEGINNING AND THE ACCIDENT
“First of all, I’m happy to be here talking to you because I could be in the medical center, surely. Happy about that. And then we were lucky with the first ‘Safety Car’. We put the yellow and we are in the top group. Then I tried to slipstream Lance, I moved at the last moment to get out and he also moved at the last moment. It was bad luck, that we didn’t understand each other very well and when I was in the air I was a bit scared, because when you go to the outer fences, it happens in IndyCar many times you do 360º and it can be dangerous. And well, when I saw it land on the tarmac, I said: ‘Well, the whole car is going to break, I’m going to retire and the race is over’. That’s what I thought when I entered the pit. But well, but I went into the pit, we changed tires and they told me we were going to the end. There were 32 laps to go… and I said: ‘Surely we can’t do it’. But I don’t know. In the end, finishing 7th seemed unbelievable.
HIS BEST RACE OF THE YEAR
“It was the best race of the year, for sure. And it was very physical too with all the potholes and everything. The truth is that the last laps I was pushing like a time trial lap. It was the best race of the year. But it’s in the body I’m still afraid”.
FINALLY I THINK ABOUT THE INCIDENT
“The last 20 laps I was still thinking about the accident and I just wanted to finish the race now.”
