Fernando Alonso will start this Sunday from seventh position on British F1 GP 2022 after another good showing of hands and quality to wet in Silverstone that he was unable to finish because of more water that fell at the end of the session. The Oviedo man may fight to be in the top 4 or 5, but he will have to settle for a more realistic seventh position for this Sunday’s race, which will be dry. The man from Oviedo will spin on his last attempt and start from seventh place, which he will defend tooth and nail in the race, going against Norris (6th), Russell knows, starting behind him (th -8), should have a better rhythm in his Mercedes.
“I’ve been feeling good. The truth is I’ve been comfortable in the rain since Q1, where we only passed one game. Then in Q2 I also became comfortable. And in Q3 I think we have more and I’ve been left with a bit of a bittersweet taste, because we pass the finish line first, I think our calculation is a bit wrong, “the Spanish driver told ‘DAZN F1’.
“Maybe I need to slow down and throw a little at the end, but I don’t have that information and I was a little surprised at the end of the pass at first (by the finish line that ended the lap). But this is what it is. As happened in Canada, sometimes you qualify very well and then you end up in your natural career position, so after the 4th or 5th time test at the end I wouldn’t have thought. changed much for tomorrow because Russell or Hamilton I think they will go faster tomorrow, so that seventh is good ”, said the Oviedo native, who thinks his Alpine is running worse than Mercedes.
In anticipation of this Sunday, Fernando believes the strong rebound in the corner seen Friday in his car should no longer appear. “The truth is we were a bit surprised that we had a rebound. We made some changes overnight and this morning they were fixed. So I don’t think we’re going to have a big problem tomorrow. ”
“Rain? I would say yes because in the rain we are a bit more competitive and we can be in the Top-5. But hey, in the end those who entered Q3 used a few sets of (intermediate) tires in the time trial and if rain tomorrow I think beginners in the back have a slight advantage with more new tires. So to even things out a bit, in the dry it’s fine too “, Alonso concluded when asked about the possibility that the water will add excitement at the event.
