Alonso: “Let’s see if we get back on that path from now on”

After two races away from the points and a car away from that goal, Aston Martin once again finished with two cars in the top 10 at the 2024 F1 British GP, with Lance Stroll 7th, benefiting from a final approach, giving him the new position about Fernando Alonso, who was 8th. Beyond the specific positions, the Asturian maintains a good pace of his car in all conditions, although it is acknowledged that “the first 6 are in another league”.

Alonso emphasized the positive side of see that his car is back in a position similar to the races before Barcelonawith hope that the news that must come to Hungary They represent a step forward for the team. Of course, this suggests that we shouldn’t expect miracles as McLaren, Mercedes, Verstappen and Ferrari are ahead.

“Hungary’s improvements? We will see. At the moment McLaren is a top car, Mercedes has improved a lot and is in a position to win the last two races, Ferrari we believe is one of the best cars or the best car until Barcelona less, and about Red Bull, what can we say so we can improve, and hopefully we will do it in Hungary, but the positions we choose are always that, 8th, 9th or 10th, and well, we have something to keep improving.” Fernando Alonso comments on ‘DAZN’.

“I think we are where we were before Canada or Imola, to be more specific. It’s a shame that we did poorly in the last few races with our own experiments,” he commented.

“We could have been ahead of Nico Hülkenberg, I think that’s the only definite position we’re fighting for. The front 6 is in a different league now,” he added.

“It has been a complicated race, as always, to read and understand,” acknowledged Fernando Alonso, who had the handicap of starting to mount the intermediate tire a lap later than Stroll. “When two cars are together, sometimes one gets it right and the other makes a mistake or one is more lucky and the other less, and we have to have a little bit, but we have speed throughout the race, which if where is the important thing. Both dry and wet, quite well, like we were doing before Barcelona, ​​​​​​​​we are on that path from now on,” commented the Asturian.

“Obviously you can make a mistake at any time. We were also unlucky today and we didn’t meet Max and Lando and we were 5th and 6th, that will never happen to us, so next time,” he said about the luck and mistakes of the rival

THE WHEELS IN SUCH A HARD RACE

“I was lucky. I stopped a lap later, the track was still dry for the intermediates, and if it didn’t rain, it was okay because you took that extra lap you were faster, and if then it started raining, the that. who changed the tires They soon found themselves that the intermediates were destroyed It did not rain and I could not take advantage of the tires that were in better condition.
