Fernando Alonso He started to lead on the first day of free practice of Canadian F1 GPalthough that is the least, because the seasons are not very representative due to the changing conditions of a day marked by rain.
The Asturian was the fastest in his turns given in the first half hour of Free 2, when the track is wet and complicated, before the rain is the star of the second part of the session. At the last appearance of the tide, nothing improved the Asturian’s time as the condition of the railway worsened.
so, Fernando Alonso He keeps the data he collects on a track that is never completely dry or completely wet in case it happens again in qualifying or the race. But he made it clear that, although he can make the difference with his hands on a delicate asphalt as he did in the Canadian classifications in 2022 (2nd with Alpine) and in 2023 (3rd but became 2nd due to Hülkenberg’s sanction), the luck factor will be very important. All this, because setting the perfect lap at the right time on the track, before it starts to rain or when the track is drier, can be crucial to reach Q3 and qualify at the front.
“These conditions can be repeated in time trial and racing”
“It’s not a very useful day for anyone. With very few laps in Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2. We haven’t had a moment on a completely dry track or a completely wet track, so there’s not much to say. oh ok “These can be conditions that we will also face in the time trial (this Saturday) and in the race, so we have to be attentive and correct.”he commented after Free Practice 2 on the competition microphone statements.
“In these conditions, sometimes decisions are made randomly and you have to flip a coin and sometimes it goes well and sometimes it goes bad. Hopefully it will be good for us this weekend,” added the Asturian.
“If you make the right decision you can gain 5 seconds… and with the wrong decision, you can be left out,” he stressed on the need to make his ‘qually’ turns at the right time and choose the right tire at the right time between heavy rains, intermediate and dry. “For you it may be interesting from the outside, but for us it will always be like a bet on which tire to wear and at what time.”
“I don’t have much to comment on, to be honest. It was a difficult Friday for everyone, with not many laps and not enough laps in dry and wet conditions. We were in the middle of nowhere (referring to the state of the track as it was quite wet). But if this is the classification and race… we have collected valuable information”he previously said in English for both official telecasts of the championship.
