Save after save: the video showing how hard Alonso worked to score points at Monza

“For sure, it was the hardest race and the most physical race we’ve done so far. Because the truth is, today the car is very difficult to drive, with zero grip, and we had less stress in Zandvoort even the rain came and all, It seems incredible, from what we have now”pointed out Fernando Alonso at the end of F1 Italian GP. He was tired, like the other pilots. It was a very difficult race for everyone, with intense heat, but above all, it was difficult for Alonso because of how much he had to fight with his own car to keep it on the track because of the many scares he had. to save with corrections and counter-steering, something that is clear when you see your ‘on board’ camera.

“Turning six is ​​terrible”he said for example in one of his radio communications, after making one of his saves to him AMR23 mounting medium rubber. And on hard tires, in full pursuit of his rivals, the man from Oviedo also had to fight against the lack of grip of his car.

“It’s disappointing because it’s a very demanding race mentally and physically, with very little grip, very difficult to drive. For me it’s one of the most difficult races of the year. It’s an unknown race, nobody will remember it, but I will do it in my mind because it is very difficult. I hope we learned things in the car with the data we had from the race.” commented to the international press after the race.

“There are many lessons we should take from this race. We are not competitive, so that is the main thing to understand in order to know what we should do something else was done and the next year we returned to it. In the race there was not much to do, we were slow from start to finish and it was not possible to fight more than me. We are adding points and I hope there are lessons”, He added about an Aston Martin that suffered greatly from its lack of top speed in a straight line on a track where this element is important. Despite everything, in one of the most delicate weekends of the course, the Spaniard returned to the points at the wheel of a car that Fernando acknowledged was “very difficult” to drive at Monza.

“The car, or the efficiency of the car, is not as good as it should be on these tracks. It seems to be our weakness. We know it and now we have to do better”, he added looking to the future, knowing that the performance of his car at Monza must be something isolated, the result of the unique characteristics of this circuit. In Singapore, Alonso is expected to return to contention for the podium. Or perhaps by squeezing the Red Bulls for a bigger prize as he did in Monaco, Canada or Zandvoort.
