Fernando Alonso He once again shed light on a complicated situation. The Spaniard is about to get pole for the sprint race at the Shanghai circuit and finally comes out third after a very complicated classification of continuous changes due to precipitation.
Indeed, it was in a hurry in case the rain increased and Alonso used his cunning passed Guanyu Zhou in the pit lane before the traffic light went out in the same pit lane. The stewards investigated it but after a few minutes they concluded that the Spaniard had committed no irregularities. So he kept the third position for Saturday’s short race.
“It’s a qualifying Sprint quite stressful. In SQ1 we were looking at the radar and seeing if rain was coming. We went through the SQ3 without a problem in eighth place, before it rained even harder. When the conditions changed, we became quite competitive.”
“The tires seemed to improve with each lap, but the circuit got worse as the rain got heavier. It is difficult to judge the level of grip and how many risks should be taken. We now have two races in a row, so we have to see if we can score some points in the Sprint and qualify for Sunday,” he concluded as he got off the AMR24.
