Fernando Alonso did the impossible by putting his Aston Martin in Q3 of Saturday’s qualifying after applying some changes to his car that worked and driving at the limit, overcoming some crashes and the understeer of his car to set a sensational time that put him in eighth.
Aston Martin did not even think it was possible to achieve such a result, but the Spaniard warned that the important thing is the race on Sunday, knowing that his car has lost performance in the long run. I will fight for it. He went all out in the race and despite losing position to Pérez in the first meters, was able to pass Hamilton to stay in 8th. So, andOn that lap 1 the ‘Safety Car’ entered the track due to an accident. From there, the Asturian’s career changed completely.
At the restart he was 8th, but saw how Tsunoda and Hamilton easily passed him on the straight to relegate him to 10th place. “Straight line speed is alarming”said the man from Oviedo, who was overtaken on the next lap Magnussen.
Two laps later Gasly caught him for the same reason. Alonso was 12th and he saw how fast his car was goingdue to some kind of problem, makes him heavy and he loses 4 places in 4 laps, thus throwing away everything that Fernando won with his hands in his excellent classification.
That’s when Fernando exploded on the radio. “I can’t believe it, man. Two years with the same p… problems on the straights,” Fernando exclaimed inside his car with some words in his sentence that censored the performance.
Soon, the Asturian overtook Yuki Tsunoda with a good overtake on the outside to place 11th, taking advantage of some trouble from the Japanese.
