Relaxed, happy after witnessing his Real Madrid victory over Bayern live at the Santiago Bernabéu a few days ago, Fernando Alonso attend the written press at the Aston Martin hospitality located at the Autódromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, in Imola (Italy), in a statement where he was present World of sportsand where the need to make a change in the current sporting regulations is once again put on the table to avoid situations as controversial as that experienced by Fernando Alonso in the last events, with disproportionate decisions by the commissioners against the Spaniard and other actions. which was not penalized for the other pilots.
Fernando Alonso said he was glad to see that other drivers think like him and, far from picking a wound or fueling controversy, he launched a responsible speech, calling for “unity of all”, including the drivers, FIA and teams. , putting aside his own interests and thinking about the good of the sport for a better future for the battles and overtaking in the race.
“If the issue has been resolved? I think we will always talk, and I think the point where we are is still very open. We are in the process of discussing more things between the drivers, the FIA, the stewards, the future, the regulations, the future driving rules, and yes, I think the penalties are quite inconsistent with our view, that will always be the case. I think when there is an accident or an investigation, one party will think one way, and the other party will think the opposite. This is the nature of sport. But we have had some cases, especially in the last two or three years, where both sides are thinking one thing and the referee is thinking another way., which is unique to this sport. So this is something we should work on and I was also happy the other day to read that there was an article, I think there Checo (Perez) and Logan (Sargeant) said the punishments were a little strange. So it’s not just me.”
MORE PROBLEMS WITH COMMISSIONERS?
“Well, we always try to race hard and without contacts. I think we saw how sensitive these cars are, the aerodynamic devices and even going to the gravel, spreading the gravel here at Imola is almost an abandonment because you wreck the car and then you’re too slow so the last thing we want to have is a contact and we try to run hard and sometimes that’s the way we race. We just need to keep it simpler. “Like I said, you know, everybody’s trying to get better, learn from mistakes and, you know, have a simple weekend.”
“Even qualifying is not that easy. When you leave the garage, there is a line of cars in the pit lane, and it’s just a coin in the air. If you know whether the time is enough to complete the lap or not, it’s good it’s just that you’re in everyone’s hands at that time And when they put it in new gear and go out in the pit lane it’s going to dictate whether you have time or not you can’t do anything that’s pretty new These are the things we should talk about and improve. But we have to do it together. You know, the FIA, the teams, the drivers, and we have to be united in that because sometimes we are not even united among ourselves or between the teams, which fight among themselves or drivers and team that disagrees on something. So that’s the biggest difficulty I think we have.”
EVOLUTIONS OF ASTON MARTIN AND IMOLA
“They are less than what was published in the Spanish media. But I think it will be a good step, but it is a good step in Bahrain, it is a good step in Jeddah, in Australia, and in Japan, and a bit in Miami. So basically every race we bring this year is no different here in Inulla if it’s longer than the other updates, it remains to be seen tomorrow we have three training sessions here that are different in the last two events. So we have a lot of time to optimize the new package and the set-up. But I don’t think it will be different in any other race. And we will have more improvements in Monaco next week, more than Canada Barcelona which is a long race until the end of the year.
IMPROVEMENTS NOT SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT IMPROVING RACE PERFORMANCE
“Not yet. I think right now, what we are bringing is just adding performance, more load on the car, less drack on the car, so the lap time. Every time we bring something, this year it seems to be correlated with the wind tunnel and everything of the thing that adds performance to the car, which is a good thing, but it’s a relative game, if you bring half a 1/10 and the whole group brings two tens, you’re a 1/10 half worse than last weekend, so it’s something we have to continue, push, work on And like I said, I think the key will be consistency throughout the season rather than a big improvement, and then wait for some how many races.
TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN ASTON MARTIN AND ITS DEVELOPMENT
“When I see the effort we are making in the development of the season, when I see the progress of the wind tunnel from last year to the end of the year, it is a better profile than what we see now, but It’s a very tough environment. We’re fighting the best teams, who are constantly making improvements. But our car is better than last year’s teams an incredible job, but we also love that challenge.”
“And if we want to fight for a world championship one day, it’s something we have to go through. You know, that process of being a leading team off the track as well. And I’m happier this year with the team’s progress. and in the car than last year But if you look at the first six or seven races, it’s hard to explain in terms of results.
