I had a hard time. This is a very complicated task. But Fernando Alonso gave everything to achieve it. The Asturian has known since Thursday that his main goal at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a track that does not suit the characteristics of his Aston Martin, will be difficult to enter Q3, among the top 10. That should be his highest goal, and he is about to achieve it in the 2024 F1 Spanish GP classification.
The driver from Oviedo tried everything in his last test in Q2. He gave a good lap, without mistakes, and was on the verge of achieving it, but ended up falling 19 thousandths short of Esteban Ocon’s cut-off time, which was 10th.
So, Fernando Alonso will start this Sunday from the 11th position with the aim of trying to score points. He will struggle because his car this year performs worse in the race and at its pace in the long run, with more wear and tear. It will be necessary to see if the green team has been able to change that trend a little with its latest improvements and data analysis and all the experiments that Fernando has carried out in the last appointments. The Spaniard will try again this Sunday, hoping it might rain, as he requested on Thursday.
Hard race for points
However, right now the forecast indicates that it will rain in the morning but it is difficult for it to do so during the race. Although in the ‘microclimate’ of Montmeló you never know. For now, he has to think about going for points without the best dry weapon this Sunday.
