Fernando Alonsowhich started in 7th position in Hungarian GP, finished 11th, out of the points, just behind Lance Stroll, who scored one point in 10th place. In fact, the Asturian let the Canadian pass to try to get to 9th place because he had fresher tires, but he couldn’t do it.
Therefore, at first, it was surprising that Lance did not later return the position of those points. But he doesn’t miss it because Lance attacks the Japanese until the end, there are always options. That doesn’t matter. The Asturian is more focused on understanding the reason why his team immediately stopped him.
“The strategy, I don’t think it was optimal, although it’s very easy to say after the race. At that moment, maybe the team thought it was good,” express.
“I think the race was pretty much there. On lap 7 we stopped and on lap 8 I knew we weren’t going to get points. Do it 63 laps with one set of medium tires and another set of hard tires, for our car it was an impossible mission. And I think we all know this on the team, We all talked about it in the strategy meeting this morning, and I don’t know why we stopped on lap 7. But hey, it’s too late. We will try to learn things and arrive at Spa stronger,” said the man from Oviedo.
“I was a little surprised when we stopped on the seventh lap because we talked this morning. It was a challenge from that point. We didn’t have the pace and the strategy didn’t help,” he added to the international press present at Hungaroring, including MD.
The truth is that Fernando Alonso’s race was compromised from the start because of the new set of tires available for the race. I just got a new set of hard rubber bands and a new set of tights. And for such a high wear event, I had to go out and sink my teeth into the soft starter tires. However, the early stoppage completely ended his options. Here we must add the lack of rhythm of the vehicle, also highlighted by the Stroll.
HE ALLOWED PRIDE
“We talked this morning, we need to equalize the batches a bit. Otherwise, the price will be too high, but when we stopped, I knew the race was over.”
“I don’t really care, it’s a point for the team, no matter which car takes that point, I think they’re trying to (pass Tsunoda) until the last corner, so I think it’s the right thing to do. . “
THE NEW EVOLUTION PACKAGE
“I think we have to study it, but certainly in the race laps there are a lot of things to learn from the car. This is the first time we will spend a long time with this package, so we will understand the data, and it will also be seen by tire wear factory we learned.
NORRIS FINALLY GIVES PIASTRI THE VICTORY
“I don’t know. Race victory is different from tenth and eleventh position, but if that’s the agreement before the race, you have to follow it, but it’s disappointing.”
