Alonso calls it a “miracle”.

Fernando Alonso call it”miracle“. That is seeking points at the moment for the Asturian with an Aston Martin that started the course as the leader of the central zone, and which gradually melted away with the improvement of all its rivals and its stagnation in the evolution. Martin’s news didn’t work and Alonso is still waiting for the parts that will allow the green car to finish the course where they started, just behind the best but until an important package arrives, he doesn’t have choice but to try again , as he says, “another miracle.”

In Zandvoortwith the worst car in the last sector and a car not ready for Q3, got into the top 10 against the clock and won the points on Sunday. In monzaa theoretically more complicated circuit for his car, where Aston Martin did not see the points possible, Alonso was only 10 thousandths away from the cut-off time to access Q3 and in the race he held points, as 11th, close to 10th and 9th in goal. And finally, in Baku, with a lap that even he could not explain in Q2, any calculation and prediction of the team’s computers and its engineers was broken to get 5th in Q2.moved into Q3 and finished sixth in the race.

Alonso calls it a “miracle”, although we, the journalists and analysts of F1, instead of praising the magic, we should study the trick behind any illusion.study the empirical reasons behind something that the Asturian driver himself or his team, Aston Martin, found impossible in the last races and that Alonso reached, fighting for points as if he had car on par with its rivals.

The reasons for his work are many: his undoubted talent, his great ability to take advantage of the mistakes of his opponents in his favor, do everything perfectly, take advantage of his moments of inspiration to return at the right moment and know how to read the races and each situation to perform the best which is a possible plan. Only in this way, by doing everything perfectly, he can aim for points because of the car in his hands, a weak weapon among so many artillery. In the last three Grand Prix, perfection in everything allowed him to be there. So, it’s like magic, but it doesn’t fail at anything and does everything at 110%. And it should be clear: the day Fernando or the team fails in just one thing, in their current car, the points can be very far.

Goal in Singapore: look at the points again

Alonso knows this. In this sense, even if he admits that his car is still “7th on the grid”, that is, a candidate for more or less 14th place, he knows that if he does all the perfect again on a complex and specific circuit, where there may be many classification errors and errors due to traffic and walls, Alonso can opt for points again.

“I think the tracks are very different. But in a way they are street circuits where there is no margin for error. Again the walls will be the limit and this is probably the most physically demanding race of year. So to maintain the level of concentration throughout the race and start the weekend on the right foot is important, so on Friday you have to have a car that gives you the confidence to attack and be able to have a good feeling for on Saturday and Sunday”revealed in statements made by Alonso in the press corral of the F1 Singapore GP and reported by ‘Motorsport.com’ and ‘Diario As’. It is no coincidence that I am talking about walls, physique and concentration. He knows he can fish in troubled waters again because his plan is to fight back and regain mastery.

“So yeah, I’m pretty optimistic. After Baku, I think it was a motivation boost for everyone, so yeah, I’m looking forward to getting in the car,” he added about it.

“As I said, we are the seventh team, so our natural position is 13th, 14th or 15th. If we are eighth in Baku, it is a miracle. If we are tenth in Monza, it is a miracle. If we are here at points, “It will be a miracle. I don’t think the car is where we want it to be at the moment.”his forceful and truthful statement.

“But that’s why we still tune-up on Friday, even if it’s not a tune-up problem. And we’re waiting for the new parts to arrive. So we don’t give up. We do everything we can at the end of week” he added.

He called her “miracle”. But what it really means “perfection”. If he doesn’t make a mistake, Alonso knows he can try again for something that seems impossible: scoring.

More Free Practice experiments 1

To do this, Fernando will continue to work from Free Practice 1, to try to find out what is the best set-up to maximize his options on the track.

“You always want to experiment a bit in FP1 in terms of set-up. Even though we were happier with the car in Baku than in the last events, we still want more, because in Baku it wasn’t enough. The result is good, but according to our calculations, we are still the seventh team in terms of performance. And we are not happy. So we still have to find more rhythm. “I also know that the team has more ideas for FP1 on Friday and I’m ready to test them,” he concluded.
