Fernando Alonso he makes consistency one of his greatest weapons. He doesn’t have a car as fast as the Red Bullsand yet his great tenacity makes him great Only 12 points behind the subchampionship of ‘Checo’ Perez after the first 6 races of the year, although 51 behind the leader Max Verstappen. The arrival of more new parts for the green car is expected and the driver of Oviedo, after being 2nd in the Monaco GP after a difficult Max, does not want to rule out anything for the remaining 16 appointments. He knows that he does not have the fastest car on the track, that Red Bull is superior, but he is betting on his regularity to continue pushing from third position in the World Championship.
“Maybe we’re not the fastest, but we weren’t the fastest either in 2010 and we came as leaders of the World Cup in Abu Dhabi. We weren’t the fastest in 2012 and we came to Brazil with options. And that’s a bit of a path that we will go, not thinking too much about the World Cup, but not forgetting it either.”Fernando commented on ‘DAZN F1’ after adding his 5th podium in 6 races. His results speak for themselves: fourth third position, second place, and fourth place in Australia as the worst course result. There is no stain.
“A few withdrawals from Max or a problem like Pérez here, who didn’t score any points, and you reduce quickly. We will be as consistent as possible, not to make mistakes and do our job. Now the best possible result is second and we made seconds and that’s what we know how to do best”Added to this was a Fernando who wanted to downplay the fact that his team decided to put on a medium dry tire when it started to rain instead of an intermediate rubber.
He was forced to stop again when Max stopped. If he puts the intermission in the first stop, he will have options to chase the Dutchman. Despite this, the Asturian, in perfect communication with the team, assured that the only reason Max won was because he had a better run and less degradation this Sunday.
“In the beginning we decided to have a different strategy than Max Verstappen. The only option we have for the best to win is to do something different from them. We chose the difficult one to go very long at the first stop and benefit from a ‘Safety Car’ or something, and look, he (Max Verstappen) was faster than us today. Max he took advantage of us even in the way, he had no ‘graining’ and stopped on the same lap as us. So we tried but we weren’t fast enough today,” said the two-time F1 world champion.
“When it started to rain, and we were happy with the second position, everything got complicated there. And the truth is I don’t want the rain, because there were two or three moments I blocked in turn 5, I almost went straight., and an error can come and end all podium-making illusions. So in the end we saved the car. Very happy with the second because it was very difficult to run in the rain, but we expected some speed in the race”, he concluded, considering the second place achieved in the Principality as very good.
