Fernando Alonso He could not believe what was happening to him. On most weekends he had the opportunity to sign a good result, which he could surprise with a Alpine very competitive, some problems unrelated to his driving, such as shrinking reliability in his vehicle, that prevented him from scoring and ruined his options. This has happened to him in many careers. We compiled it a week ago in this piece: A World Cup of setbacks for Alonso. Seeing is believing. To this list we should add what happened to him this weekend. Sa Austria luck struck him again.
First, on classification. He had a car that was supposed to be 5th or 6th, but a curb damaged the floor of his car and he had to settle for 8th spot on the grid in the sprint race. And once there, sure he had a car to regain “some positions”, the Oviedo man saw how his car wasn’t turned on.
“Anything. The truth is the car didn’t work. I ran out of battery or what because everything was off. We tried to operate the car with an external battery, but that also didn’t work, so it must have been something else. And well, again a problem with my car, and definitely on another super super competitive weekend, ultra competitive and that we are leaving with no points “sigh of the Spaniard, not knowing what to say in front of the microphone of the ‘DAZN F1’.
“This year in general I think it was one of my best years on a competitive level. I felt so good, so fast, so strong. But the truth is, we had no luck and we lost by 50 or 60 points maybe so far this year.”. His spot in the standings (only 28 points) is not equal to his great performance on the track, or to the speed shown by Alpine.
“Another problem with my car, but I don’t know, I think reliability is good, or at least Esteban Ocon’s car always runs smoothly,” he said in the international press box, as collected by ‘Motorsport.com’.
“This year I feel probably at my best level of driving, also thanks to the experience. Maybe I’m at the level of 2012 and I have about 20 points, it’s incredible. Maybe we lost by 70 points, I guess about 60 points if we count all retirement. because of bad luck or reliability, so this is a strange time, “he added, repeating the same idea.
“I’m very proud of my own work this year, but not getting points for all this is very frustrating. Although I would be sadder if it was for my own mistakes like spinning tops, crashes or things like that. Driving I try to do my best, ”he concluded.
