the Spanish pilot Fernando Alonso (Alpine) said Friday that he hopes the misfortune he accompanied at the start of the current Formula One World Championship, where he suffered two retirements, will end, and that luck will accompany him this Sunday at the Miami Grand Prix. .
At a press conference before the start of the Miami Grand Prix weekend, the Spaniard said he believes in luck, “good and bad”, and he hopes it will “pay off throughout the season” and he is confident that all “bad” luck “at the World Cup it was exhausted.
He admitted that it has been “difficult” and that it is “strange” to have only two points in the World Championship standings after four races, especially when he feels he has had the “best start in the last 10 years” and has not been “extremely competitive” since 2012.
“Of course it’s hard to get two points at this point, it’s weird especially since it’s one of my best starts in terms of being competitive, I think it’s probably the best in the last 10 years, since 2012 that I haven’t felt like now “.
He pointed out that it was a “very sad” start to the season, but said it was a “season” that the team’s good moments would be seen not only in training and qualification but also in racing.
“What happened was I was so unlucky, I had a sixth on hand until the breakdown, in another I took a lap … it was a matter of time before the results came, the car was fine, I was well., I feel strong and I believe in luck, good and bad, but it also paid off in 22 or 23 races, ”he said.
For example, the Alpine driver has not escaped the bad luck that has followed him since the start of the campaign in Imola and, after riding at a good speed over the weekend, he had to retire after the seventh lap after losing a piece of the pontoon. of his single-seater.
What happens every Sunday, he hints, is “nothing” in his hands and he hopes “after work” in the races, because, he stressed, the car is “fast”, his feeling is “strong.” And have “confidence” in the car.
On the front of the race in Miami, the double world champion explained that it was a circuit with a complex and “very narrow” slow zone, with very close walls, an area “slower than liked in Formula One”.
Here we should add the “challenge” that this is a new circuit and all drivers should “adapt” as soon as possible and the confidence “should also have that development”.
So he expects a “happy weekend”, because, in addition, the Miami circuit has a long straight and three DRS zones, which will help in having moments of “good action”.
Asked about the passing of Real Madrid, a team of which he is a fan, to the Champions League finals, he commented that he did not see the “show” given by the white team when they eliminated Manchester City this week at the Santiago Bernabéu in extension.
He said he was “a great Real Madrid fan”, but not “too crazy” to miss the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, which will take place from May 27 to 29, to jump to Paris, where the Champions League final on th -28.
