Fernando Alonso He was 12th yesterday, 1 second behind the best time set by Lando Norris. But with his car now, he is not against that. The Spaniard finished less than two tenths from 8th and a tenth from 9th. And although his car does not fit the characteristics of the Marina Bay layout, the man from Oviedo continues to believe that it is possible to be among the 10 best.
The battle in the middle zone to get back into Q3 seems very even, although the teams seem to want it RB, Haas or Williams have more arguments than the Asturian Aston Martin. However, Fernando also seemed to have it all against Monza, Zandvoort and Baku and was in contention, scoring points in two of those three events and achieving Q3 in Azerbaijan which the team believed was impossible. He will have to try another “miracle”, as Fernando already pointed out on Thursday. And he repeated the same thing this Friday after some “intense FP1 and FP2”.
“I think it will be difficult. We don’t have a lot of power in our car at the moment and this circuit is exactly some of the things we’re missing at the moment: traction and things like that. It will be a difficult weekend, but we also thought about it in Baku and we managed to maximize the points there, so we want to do the same here. It will be difficult, but points are possible”said the Asturian, who had to risk as much as possible to do it, as he did in Free Practice 1, with good double countersteering and golden reflexes he was able to avoid the accident.
Saving Free 1
In that sense, Fernando underestimated that action. “You want to keep the car alive, not crash and complete the session to collect enough data for the team. So it’s a stressful moment, but in every lap in Singapore there’s always some risk. It’s been an intense FP1 and FP2 . “Let’s see what we can do tomorrow.”argument.
The Spaniard knows that in Singapore there can always be surprises. The walls are very close, the heat and humidity are exhausting and any accident, yellow flag or traffic on the streets of Singapore can open up opportunities. He will try to maximize his options and take advantage of other people’s mistakes, again driving to the limit, in search of a complicated, but not impossible, Q3. Not for Alonso.
