“The 11th was better than we expected”said Fernando Alonso. He did it again. The Asturian maximized all his potential Aston Martin and not even a thousand were left behind. And with a car that was not ready for Q3 in the qualifying session of the Italian GP, he was close to a miracle: He is only 10 thousandths away from the cut-off time to enter the top 10. All this, Lance has a car with him The walk may only be 17º. I can’t do anything anymore.
On Thursday, Fernando already pointed out that in theory this track does not suit his car and scoring points will be more difficult. But he thinks they are still possible. The driver from Oviedo wants to take advantage of the possible mistakes of his rivals so that, in a car that often loses a lot of speed in the race compared to the qualifying speed, he will lead for the points by attacking at the start and with good tire management, a major factor and difference this Sunday due to ‘graining’.
“As we said on Thursday, I think the points are the best hope for us here, one or two points at most, and I will go into the race thinking that it is possible. Otherwise, I will not put the helmet on.”. So, from the very beginning I will attack. “I will try to recover some positions and with the strategy or with the tire or with the ‘graining’, hopefully we will do a better job than the others,” he explained.
“And if three or four cars from the top don’t finish the race, there will be big points on the table, and we have to be there to get them tomorrow”he commented.
In that sense, when I asked him in the press corral if his intelligence in managing the tires could make a difference, he assured that he would prefer to have better weapons in the car, in a clear message to his factory to bring evolutions on track as soon as possible.
“I’d rather have an updated flat bottom or rear wing instead of a brain today. But yes, it could happen tomorrow that we see a different race at Monza,” he exclaimed to the laughter of the press.
“On the other hand, I think that yesterday all the teams were quite worried. All the teams saved two sets of hard tires for the race and we verified before qualifying that they all did, so there is no advantage there. We are all in the same boat Stopping is probably still the favorite strategy. Historically, Monza has been like that, but if there is extreme grain, the tires available are the same for everyone, so I don’t think we’ll see many different approaches tomorrow. “The tires will dictate the race.”announced Fernando Alonso.
THE REALITY OF ASTON MARTIN
“I think we are always in the middle zone. It’s been a few races since we repeated the same message, that We qualified well, a bit more than expected, but in the race we went back a bit and faced reality. And the truth is we’re a tenth behind Haas, Williams and Alpine.”Argued about the current reality of the green car, which did not emerge in the last races.
OVERHEADS
“Overtaking will be difficult, but because the tires are a bit fragile and maybe graining, using a different tire you can overtake very easily. So I think yes, we will see overtaking in the race,” he concluded .
