Fernando Alonso He started 7th, but finished 10th, saving a point with several laps to go by overtaking Hulkenberg with cooler tires than the German. It became clear, as highlighted by Alonso, that his seventh position in the classification was not real, more than his desire, and that the “truth” was what was seen in the race, where Aston Martin It continues to suffer in terms of speed.
Alonso It is clear and concise. He reiterated the need for the green team to bring new pieces to the track because he believes that Alpine and haas They were faster than their car on this track, placing their team as the “7th best car” out of 10 possible after the evolution of the other rivals in the central zone.
“One point is a bit too much for the speed we have, but we did a good qualifying yesterday and, starting seventh, obviously gave us the chance to score this point. We have to improve. There has been of some races. where we are struggling in “We have to keep up with some of the mid-table teams,” he said. declared in front of the press present on the circuit, among them MD.
“I don’t think it changed much after the summer break. In Budapest we were fighting with Yuki (Tsunoda, RB) until the last lap. In Spa, I think Williams and Alpine were faster than us, but we made a strategy at the same time we stopped and beat them with that strategy. Here, I think Alpine and Haas are faster than us. “Overall, I think overall we’re the seventh team and we definitely need to improve.”he added.
DOWN IN CAREER
“I think qualifying is probably our strength this year. We were very quick in qualifying and again, at this type of circuit, where it’s difficult to overtake etc., putting two cars in Q3 is usually a good sign. And “Yesterday we were probably a little better than we should have been.”
“Now the truth is, as I said, it hasn’t changed in the last three or four races. We can’t forget where we came from; at Spa, with a one-stop strategy, we were 12th and 14th Today, we are tenth, so nothing new, but it is still disappointing for us, we have to improve, understand the car better, bring some new parts for the next races and try to be like at the beginning of the year, where we were. not fighting with the top 4 teams, but we were a few tenths ahead of the middle zone. We had to get back to that position before the last race in Abu Dhabi.
PASS THE HAAS AT THE END TO SAVE A POINT
“It wasn’t difficult, I think it took me two laps, one to prepare for the exit of the last corner. But the pace of the Haas was surprising with that many laps on the tires. longer than expected, so they were very fast.”
SAINZ SAYS CARS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO PERFORM THIS YEAR
“I’m not sure. I think the top four teams, maybe Mercedes have a bit of ups and downs, but McLaren, Red Bull and Ferrari are contenders for the podium every weekend. The next two races, for example, Ferrari should be the car to beat. What we saw last year in Monza and Singapore, Leclerc also won in Monaco this year.
