Fernando Alonsoas he had already done in Imola, Sunday’s race turned Austrian F1 GP in a test to collect data, analyze the performance of the component and draw conclusions for the future. The Asturian made it clear on ‘DAZN’ after the race, where he started with a more risky strategy, with three stops, to see if he would benefit from any ‘Safety Vehicle’ and at the same time try the soft tire at the end with little fuel and continue to evaluate a car that needs a lot of improvement.
He fought the entire race in 14th place, far from the points, and finally then 18th with another stoppage and a 10-second penalty for miscalculating the brakes and hitting Zhou. In the end, with the soft rubber, he did the fastest lap, but it was no use either. “Yes, I did the fastest lap, but in the end there is no point or anything because you are not in the Top-10”commented on ‘DAZN’ at the end of the race.
“We wanted to test the car with different tires and little gas. But yes, it was a complicated race, as we expected. We had three stops to go, we stopped early and we went to two stops to see if there was a Safety Car or a moment of luck in one of the two cars, and then I went wide, I hit Zhou and had a penalty Since then has forgotten my career.”argument.
“But nothing has changed. Instead of finishing 17th I would have finished 14th, but the points are out of reach now”he added.
IN SILVERSTONE, SUFFER, BUT LACK HOPE
“We had a very difficult weekend and at Silverstone we want to have it better. I want to say that it is not more difficult to have a better weekend there because we suffered too much here . So I’m going to Silverstone with more optimism than maybe here in Austria but we have to prove it, get back into that Top-10 and get points.”.
THE RACE HAS BEEN A TEST FOR ALONSO
“Yes, for me the conclusions are very clear, or at least for me they are black and white of what we have done in the car and what we have installed now, what we have to improve and what we must keep.” Now we have to come together and go to Silverstone with high morale, all the mechanics… we have the factory right next to the circuit and we have to do better.”
