Consequently, after adding three podiums in the first three races, the native of Oviedo believes that his goal, starting from sixth place in this Sunday’s race, should be to finish in the top 5. Of course, in raw the always appears ‘Safety Vehicle’ and the racing speed of his car, the approach and other conditions can give him or take places. What he hopes is that the DRS can work correctly this Sunday throughout the race after the improvement in this aspect in baku sprint race, where he was 6th after starting 8th.
“DRS I think worked, which is quite the word we use the most within the team, because in every session we had problems. Twice at least worked in the race, sometimes I don’t know because I didn’t look in the rear view mirror, so we’ll check tonight and if there’s a small change to make, I hope it works tomorrow too”Fernando commented on ‘DAZN F1’.
“Optimistic for the race? Yes, I think so. We added points today, which was not easy starting eighth. Looking ahead to tomorrow (this Sunday’s race) we will start a little further advance, instead of eighth, we will start in sixth position (the place he achieved in Friday’s qualifying), and let’s see if we can being in the Top-5, which would be the best news this weekend. We’re not very fast, so if we finish the weekend with 6th today and a Top-5 tomorrow, I’ll sign now.”said the Asturian, third overall in the World Cup.
In addition, the Aston Martin driver showed his “surprise” because, according to him, Carlos Sainz closed when the Asturian approached the Madrid player after the ‘Safety Car’ restart. “I think we’re even going to see now if we can do fifth because, the truth is that Carlos (Sainz) took me to the wall in turn 2, which is a bit… er … surprising. But hey, to see if they can do something and we can win that position”, he commented. However, the action did not seem to merit a penalty as Alonso had not yet reached the red car.
