Alonso, frankly: “I’m going for pole position”

Date:

Fernando Alonso He announced on Saturday that he was driving the 9th or 10th car (out of 10 total), a car at the back of the grid with no downforce or cornering grip, an undriveable car, but he didn’t throw in the towel , he knows. that in the rain his hands can make up for his many shortcomings Aston Martin. And the next morning, in the wet, he tried with all his might, He impressed with the 2nd best time in Q2 and assured that in his Q3 lap “he will go for pole”. But he leaned against the wall in the midst of a miracle.

Alonso has to take more risks than others. While Norris had a laser sword, the others had a steel sword, he did it with a wooden sword. He had to test beyond the capabilities of his car, driving on a knife edge. I can do it, but it’s too much. And after that accident, where he was 9th in qualifying, he regretted that he might have to start from the pit lane because of the damage to his car, but he doesn’t regret what he did. He knew this was the day for the pole or a good result. It didn’t work out but he did what he had to do: try.

“This is what every driver should do”

“The truth is that I was coming for pole. So, it hurts, but it’s what every driver has to do, I guess. When you have an opportunity like today, try to do as much as possible. I’m 8 tenths better than my Q2 time, I’m trying to do the math, but hey, it’s been tested today and it’s a shame I can’t make it. Let’s see the damage to the car if they allow me to start in 9th place or do I have to start in the pit lane. But it is what it is and we have to accept it,” said the man from Oviedo to ‘DAZN’.

“It’s complicated but it’s what we have. We are the 10th car (of 10, the last). Yesterday we were not in Q1 and suddenly today we are second in Q2. It is in these instances that we have to risk 200%. I want us to have a car where we can go calmly in the middle of the track, but we have to give everything. “Tried today, made mistakes and let’s see if we can do something in the race,” Then Fernando.
