Fernando Alonso then 9th in Formula 1 Las Vegas GP after finding himself in a very complicated situation in the first corner. In 18th position, with car damage and the whole race ahead. But he recovered and reached the points.
The man from Oviedo started in 9th, wanting to get places with a good start. The start is good, with good reaction at traffic lights. And he went all out, attacking, inside, but suddenly he lost the car and spun around. He ended up colliding with Valtteri Bottas, remaining facing the Finn with a broken nose.
SA Sainz That’s exactly what happened to him and he made sure that it was the fault of the sepiolite that spread on the asphalt before the race due to the spilled oil of Hamilton’s car in the drivers’ parade before the event.
“I had a good start, but in the first corner I spun or I don’t know if I touched something or not, because I haven’t seen the replay yet. The car disappeared there and when I saw the Alfa Romeo in front of me I thought the race was over. But then, with the safety car and everything I was able to get back in the fight and score points in the end it leaves me with a good taste in my mouth because in the first corner I thought it was over.”The Asturian argued, who thanks to the initial virtual safety car entered the pits and changed his nose, then fought for points also because of the ‘safety’ that appeared in the middle of the race, when Verstappen and Russell were in contact one and one.
“We have done more than we thought. Lance (Stroll) was leading from 19th to finish 5th, and with me we lost the chance to do more, but as possible… tenth in time trial, 9th in race, same car in points, “You have to see the positive side.”added Alonso, taking stock of everything that happened this Sunday before facing the final World Cup event in Abu Dhabi next weekend.
“The last race remains. To try to enjoy. Today was a fun day. ANDThe circuit offered us overtaking, like today at the end with Gasly, or with Carlos (Sainz) who we passed and re-checked, with Hamilton. “We are more or less in the fight and I think that is a positive point for the car.”Alonso concluded.
