This is Alonso’s incredible save in Singapore and his subsequent comment on the radio

Fernando Alonso avoided a serious accident between the walls of the always complex street circuit of Marina Bayin the first free training sessions of F1 Singapore GP.

The Asturian made a fantastic save with his wheel Aston Martin. The driver from Oviedo, at full acceleration on the curb, seemed to have completely lost the car. And in crossing the car, he showed his enormous capacity for reaction and quality at the wheel by responding to a strong countersteering, violently turning the wheel to the other side, finally managing to correct the position of his car and tame it’s another last turn to the left.

Had he lost control while accelerating, the Asturian driver could have lost control of his car and crashed into the track wall, something he could have avoided with his hands.

Misunderstanding of the equipment and its subsequent radio

In that incredible reaction, Fernando Alonso accidentally touched the pit lane speed limiter button, located behind the right side of his steering wheel, right next to his thumb. His engineer was probably not watching the Asturian ‘ride’ at that moment and did not understand why the Spaniard touched that button and did not hesitate to ask the Spaniard.

“Just to check. You pressed the pit button (the one that limits the speed in the pit lane). Was it on purpose?” his engineer asked him.

And at full pulse, Alonso responded with a beautiful irony related to how much he should improve a car in which he had to fight and take too many risks to be fast: “No, to avoid a In this car accident I pressed the buttons on the steering wheel, all I had.” To a great expert, a few words.

Fast, the radio Fernando Alonso was highlighted in social networks by many users, a display of cold blood of the Spaniard after saving his car from a serious scare.

Alonso has warned that he is in too much danger

“On these circuits you have to take a lot of risks, stay on the walls a lot and make a good time trial, because in the race it is difficult to catch up later. There are times you’ll hit a wall too, hey! but one day, when you are on the fine line of believing that you can do everything and believe that you are superior, mistakes will come because you can block and anything will happen to you,” warned Alonso. And as happened in Baku, To aim for points with fewer weapons than his rivals, the Asturian must drive to the limit, more dangerous in a car that does not give him confidence, to have any choice.

“You have to take risks, yes, but with a lot of respect for Singapore and this circuit. You have to try to get points but I think it will be a weekend like the last 5 or 6 grands prix. . Even after Baku last week, by all the calculations we have, we are behind Williams and Haas,” he concluded on Thursday. This Friday, Singapore sent him the first notice.
