Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), marking the fourth time this friday at free practice for the Canadian Grand Prixthe eighth of the year, announced at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal that he was “It’s a pity, for the fans”, that the first session could not be played and that “sometimes this sport shoots itself in the foot”.
The first session was delayed, with a red flag, after five minutes; and it did not go ahead -when only twelve pilots set the time and none of them did more than three laps-, due to the failure of the security cameras of the Montreal circuit, where the double Asturian world champion -the great sensation. from the start of the World Championship, with five podiums in the first seven races – achieved, in 2006, one of his 32 victories in the premier class.
“Sorry, for the fans, that the first free practice did not take place. Shame, sometimes it feels like this sport shoots itself in the foot“, commented Alonso, who is third in the championship, with 99 points, 71 less than the leader, the Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who this Friday marked the sixth time of the first day of tests.
“It’s great to race here again and see all the support the fans give us.; but it’s a pity and it’s a bit embarrassing that we didn’t ride in the first session, due to a technical problem,” he said.
“We don’t have all the time it takes to understand new car evolutions, so we have to scrutinize everything tonight; and learn more tomorrow”, commented the great Asturian pilot this Friday in Montreal. “We will keep an eye on the radar again, because it looks like it will be a new day with mixed conditions”, he added.
