Alonzo: "faint …"

“Probably”, said the Asturian between laughs in front of the ‘DAZN’ microphone. I asked him about the pressure he wanted to do Daniel Ricciardo sa standard looking for your mistake. But at 40 years old, after 341 Great prizes and even this Sunday the driver with the longest career since he started in F1 (21 years, 3 months and 8 days), clearly needed more than pressure from Daniel to get the Asturian nervous. He usually doesn’t make a lot of mistakes and Baku won’t be an exception. I rode in seventh place, sweating profusely to manage and keep the rear wheels alive. Their Alpine It is very aerodynamically unloaded. That gave him maximum speed on the straight, perfect for self-defense against the attacks of his rivals. But it slowed him down in the corner and the more it slipped, the more the tires got hot and the more the damage increased. Fernando had to play with it. He was able to extend his first stint and finish 7th, scoring points for the third consecutive career on another positive Sunday.

HE WAS SUFFERING TO LIVE THE GUGS IN HIS BACK

“We had more difficulty on the tires than we expected. We had very little downforce. On the straight roads we were very fast and that helped us maintain position, but at the same time I think we ran out of tires a lot. and for me keeping the rear wheels alive is the biggest challenge today ”.

THE TWO MCLARENS

“We knew we had extra speed and I knew they were expecting some failure. But I always tried in the last two or three corners to always do them well and calmly. He believed he could handle the position. It was a good start we, good approach, good pit stop … and when you do that in Baku you usually get a position because of the chaos in front of you.So we started on the 10th, we finished on the 7th… Barcelona, Monaco and Baku with good points. To follow in Canada ”.
