Fernando Alonso did not live Sunday as one of his happiest days this season. The Asturian driver was far from the podium in an Austrian GP where he experienced a misunderstanding with his track engineer during one of the pit stops.
“Virtual Safety Car. Stay on track“They talked to him for the first time, an indication that Alonso didn’t seem to like it.”Of course?” he answered.

x.setAttribute(“charset”, “utf-8”);
$(“.twitter-tweet”).closest( “span” ).append(x);
});
As expected by the Asturian, the team reacted, but it was too late and the two-time world champion was unable to enter that lap, having to wait for the next one. When he entered, new plans changed. “Stay outside. You have entered. okay, okay, never mind“, his engineer taught.
Alonso’s second stop, on lap 44, was also bumpy.”Box, box, for medium wheels“They told him when he got past the entrance to the pit line.”You can’t tell me too late, man!” lamented the pilot, who had to wait until the next lap to enter.
They are also not very successful with Aston Martin when it comes to the choice of wheels. “What compound do you want to put?” the engineer asked Fernando, who replied: “I’m not clear. We can get more information from other vehicles“.
Alonso took the experience and asked him to calm down on the radio. “Let’s be quiet. It’s a very long career“warned Alonso who finally finished ahead of Lewis Hamilton but did not beat Norris’ McLaren.
