Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) assured after finishing thirteenth in the sprint race of the United States Grand Prix that “It’s disappointing to go to bed today knowing that the chances” of scoring points in this Sunday’s race are “very low.”
“We have not been competitive since the first free practice, too slow and without rhythm“, commented Alonso, who was very self-critical and highlighted that this was a weekend that was “painful to assimilate” but from which we must learn.
So, he insisted on that in Sunday’s race you have to “give it your all and optimize the car as much as possible”although he emphasized that the team will discuss “whether it’s better to hold some car configuration and start in the pit lane or not.”
Also, he emphasized that one of the disadvantages of the weekend was that they did not optimize the car properly because of the few laps taken: “We believe that the car can give more than itself and we haven’t optimized it enough. We hope that in Mexico we can go more laps” said the Asturian.
The two-time world champion concluded by saying this Getting points would be “very complicated” and “doing 56 laps just to do them seems long”, referring to a possible ‘set up’ change to start from the pit lane but with a new configuration. In any case, he said it was a bad weekend and that “we have to grit our teeth.”
