Fernando Alonso asking for calm. Yesterday he was 11th and was eliminated in Q2, without entering the fight for the top 10 of the classification. F1 Spanish GP 2024, but far from being disappointed or angry at the result, the Spanish driver is hopeful that things will turn around. It is clear that his ambition and that of Aston Martin is to fight higher, but remember that the World Cup is long and that, if the green team manages to hit the key with its next package of evolutions, things can change in the second round part of the championship. The Spaniard, as he said to Monaco and as he repeated Canadatrusts a reaction from his team, but highlights that for this it is necessary to bring in new pieces and that is not done overnight.
For the Asturian, the important thing is to know that the team saw what it had to do to find solutions and straighten its path. For this reason, he indicated that a new date should be marked in red on the calendar: Hungary. He hinted that a new package could be coming which changes his 2024 film.
“Obviously everything is ours, but we don’t have a time machine to go back or make new car parts from one day to the next. So they will be races of suffering, both in Barcelona (today), as well as in Austria and Silverstone. It will be difficult to even get points. Canada is a bit of an exception. And hopefully starting in Hungary a new championship will begin for us”argued with ‘DAZN’.
Later, before the Spanish press present at the Circuit, Alonso recalled the enormous strides made by McLaren in the middle of last year: from the last places to being the second team with surprising improvements.
The McLaren example
“We want to fight for the podiums and we want to end the year on the podium. This year there is a lot of competition at the top and to achieve this you have to beat many of those teams to get into the box and that is the goal. “We have to think big.”
“Talking now about making a podium when you can’t even get into Q3 seems risky but we’re not even halfway through the year. We’ve seen at McLaren the steps that can be taken if you manage to do things right fine Now in Q2 I am a tenth of a 5th so in a race where you carry a pack of three or four tenths you can place third or fourth”he confidently stated.
“The championship is long but it’s hard to say. Sports and racing are the present and you can’t wait for anything. So this Sunday, it’s time to grit your teeth like in Austria or Silverstone. I hope it rains in one of these races to even things out,” he added.
First goal, the points now
The Spaniard set himself the goal of some difficult points after a classification that turned out to be better than feared.
“In one of the two cars we chose to go out with three sets of soft tires and usually it’s a desperate measure. But we don’t have confidence. And then when you’re close to Q3 you’re half happy. And I say medium because in home almost say with a small mouth that an 11th makes you happy,” he added. We will move between the 8th and the 12th his choices now.
