Alonso revealed that he drove injured in the last races of the year in F1: despite this he performed above the car

Date:

Fernando Alonso He shone in the final triple of the season, managing to exceed the team’s expectations and perform above the level of his car to nearly reach the points in Vegas and achieve them in Qatar and Abu Dhabiwith creditable 7th and 9th places, respectively, against superior cars.

The act, in itself, is remarkable. But it is more if we consider what the man from Oviedo revealed in the statements to ‘FOX Sports’: the man from Oviedo revealed that he has had a shoulder injury since the race in Brazil, a damage caused by the many bounces of his car during the appointment in Sao Paulo, where he had difficulty getting out of his car because of the pain he was suffering from in his body.

“Tough year? It’s tough, but it depends a little bit on how the car goes. If you have a McLaren, a Ferrari or a Mercedes, it’s not that tough because the car doesn’t jump, the car runs fast, and if you have our car Brazil you hurt your shoulder and injured your shoulder in 6 races.”The Asturian argued.

“And well, you take a pill to make the pain go away and that’s it. And it has nothing to do with age. Because people are quick to think that if I’m physically ill they think I’m 43 years old . On the other hand in the closed park it was like ‘The Walking Dead’ (popular zombie series), they were all on the ground and I was good, more whole than them. So it’s a bit of a matter of the small injuries that you have, if the car allows you not to jump and be in your seat calmly,” he added, making it clear that age is just a number, as he has already demonstrated and repeated in recent courses on many occasions.

“There are many trips, we all learned a lesson this year about how to travel. For example, I did this triplet of Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi consecutively from one place to another, race by race, because I had an event in Saudi Arabia between race and race and next year I will try to go home at least 48 or 72 hours which we will do in the calendar so that the dating next year will be more complete,” he argued about what can be improved in his travel planning for next year in a calendar too full of races, with up to 24 events a year starting in 2024.
