Alonso’s radio and his great demeanor warmed the hearts of Aston Martin mechanics in the middle of the race

Fernando Alonso tried with all his soul. In a car that repeated that it was “9th or 10th” (out of a total of 10), at the back of the grid, he achieved the miracle of Q3 in qualifying, taking advantage of the fact that the rain allowed him. to risk more and make up for it with his hands the multiple shortcomings of his car. He risked everything thinking about the pole and ended up on the wall. His mechanic fixed the car against the clock so he started the race from 9th place and That is what made Fernando reach the finish line and not give up, fighting on the track despite the many pains he suffered in his back due to the rebound problem in his car.

The driver from Oviedo remained in the points position despite bringing old parts because he had no spare parts, something that caused his car to lose performance compared to the morning.

When the race was stopped due to a red flag, he was 9th, on lap 33. But from there, he couldn’t do anything to stay in a points zone with a car that suffered a lot in the curves, with less aerodynamic load, very nervous, unstable and, in addition, this Sunday bounced a lot.. That rebound, built up over several laps in the final stretch, was the cause Fernando Alonso with severe back pain.

He remained in 10th place until lap 43 when he was unable to keep his car on the track. In one of the starts he went out, onto the grass, and dropped from 15th because he had brake problems and was forced to brake “like he was doing it with the handbrake.”

He fights with a wooden sword against better weapons. He had to drive to the limit, beyond the possibilities of the car, and he ended up on the grass. And now out of the points, a few laps from the end, a radio came through where Alonso made his team’s hearts shrink and where he showed his immense commitment to the green team and its staff.

“I will finish the race for the mechanic, because they did a good job, but my back hurts because the rebound is not normal”Fernando said.

The pain after stopping the car at parc ferme

He did. He crossed the finish line in 14th place, the penultimate of the drivers to finish the race. And when they arrived at the closed park, their injuries were obvious. Before getting out of the car, when he stood inside the car, he bent over because of the pain. It stayed that way for 16 seconds. Writhing in pain.

Some of his mechanics were already at his side, covering him. One of them put his hand on her back and returned her love and effort with words of support and a subsequent hug. That’s not the day. He tried. Your Aston Martin is far from where it should be. By 2025 they want to be even higher. Alonso needs it. The car is not up to par.
