Great champions are also superstitious. It doesn’t matter if they trust their good qualities to the maximum. One of the clear examples is that of Rafa Nadal and his methods between point and point. The luck factor is always there. Let them ask questions Fernando Alonsowho in F1 Italian GP 2023 expressed in the Spanish press present at Monzaincluding MD, a moment of superstition taken in Zandvoort at the most decisive moment of the race. At the height of the red flag, when he was going over all his options in his mind, over and over, facing the last start of the Grand Prix, with only 7 laps to go for Verstappenthe Oviedo pilot had a moment where he considered luck.
“I had in mind the attack on Verstappen. I already said in Zandvoort, that I thought there was a chance. The first thing that came to my mind was that if the start was standing, I could have a chance at the start. And if it was thrown away, try I hit a lot. I remember I had a super wet helmet from the first 60 laps, from the rain, the sweat and all that. And I had another new helmet ready for the restart. And I took the new to put on and I said: ‘no’. Now it must be a helmet because at the moment everything is fine and if I wear the new one now, something might go wrong”, he explained. about that moment of doubt, as if one helmet or another could change his luck, as if the helmet he wore in his first exhibition at Zandvoort influenced something in the great overtaking he did to become 2nd to that point.
“Even in these things I thought: ‘this is going to be the helmet where I’m going to win,'” he continued.
“I hope there will be a chance. But even if he catches up I think Verstappen will have a lot of speed and he will be a lion at the back and it will always be difficult to keep up with them. But hey … in Monaco we were one pit stop away from winning “In Canada we had a problem with the brakes that we should have dealt with, and in Zandvoort we were almost at the start. It gives hope that there will be another chance ,” he concluded, hoping to have more opportunities this year to attack Max Verstappen and fight for the win.
