The motives
After the race, the Spaniard explained the reason for not attacking Lance Stroll to achieve the sixth last place instead of the seventh he got. “To pass him? It’s difficult, but it’s the last 10 laps of the race and in the end we don’t care if he’s sixth and seventh or seventh and sixth. They’re both points for the team and Lance had a leading race. More we’re already points ahead of Ferrari, so for this part, happy”Fernando pointed out to the Spanish press present at the Circuit, including MD, knowing that Lance also needs that position to continue to gain confidence after a very difficult start to the season.
Alonso always thinks about the Constructors’ World Championship
Lance approached Barcelona with only 27 points, in 8th place in world, who lost to Alonso in all qualifying and races. In addition, Alonso added 5 podiums in 6 races and take a walkFor his part, he added two retirements, another race outside the points and his best result was a 4th place in Australia. Fernando, despite his desire to achieve the best possible result in front of his fans, thought first of the team, the points to the Manufacturers and not taking risks that could affect any part of the car if he tried overtake.
I don’t want to take any chances
“I got the ground yesterday (when in Q1 of qualifying he stepped on a wet spot and went out on the gravel), so I don’t want to take another one and I don’t want Lance Stroll to harm him to protect himselfso I said I don’t care about sixth and seventh or seventh and sixth,” he added.
a perfect communion
This is not the first time that the perfect communion that exists in the team can be seen in track situations. In Baku, Lance Stroll has made it clear that he will not attack Fernando Alonso. In the same race, Fernando even wanted to share his mid-test braking distribution with his team so Lance could use it to improve his time. And in Miami, Fernando, rolling towards another podium, said he would follow Lance’s race on the screens to see if he could score.I hope the team does well in its fight with Mercedes for second place in the Championship.
The team atmosphere is what is desired. And in fact, MD has already asked MD for the reasons why Fernando Alonso feels comfortable and if perhaps he lives in the best relationship between drivers and teams since his first period at Renault or when he is in the World Endurance Championship with Toyota. “One of the best communions I’ve ever had? Definitely yes. We have a technical team with a lot of talent and experience, and also because we found ourselves in a position that we did not expect. We want to know this year the new concept they designed and give it some time and evolve it, and in 2024 try to fight for the podiums. That was the goal when I first went to the Aston Martin factory.”explained the Asturian to MD in Barcelona.
