Alonso had to stop two consecutive laps due to another Alpine failure

Again, a new external problem ruined him. The third time in the same Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso I can not believe. He paddled against the current all weekend, struggling for a position farther than it should be at the wheel of a car willing to pursue the Top-5 made by his companion Stephen Ocon. And perhaps to ‘fish’ for others because of problems that have occurred in front of the grid. However, he crossed the tenth finish line after another period of bad luck, or rather, another failure of Alpine.

The pilot from Oviedo came from injury in ‘settled‘of breaking a part of the floor of his car. The only problem of the weekend where he had to do because that injury was caused by a dilation in a corner. But that’s where his bad luck began. In the sprint race his car did not work due to a problem. This Sunday he started from the end of the grid change engine. He flies on the track, with good wheel management, lengthens his stops, and is faster than his rivals.

According to the Spaniard, he could aspire to sixth last place despite the fact previously zhou he slowed him down drastically in his speed and subsequent defense. But eventually he was 10th and he would probably be punished for a new mistake by his team: they put him on the track with a tight-fitting tire. He had to turn at a slow speed and go back to the pits to fix the mess and he lost a lot of time.

“It’s a difficult career. Most of all, starting from far away I had more rhythm but we were all on the train DRS and no one overtook, so we lost a lot of time there. Y then at the end I think we can go sixth, but we have to pit stop, one lap after another lap because I have a lot of vibrations in the wheel and I don’t know what’s going on and we had. to make another pit stop ”He said Alonso, without wanting to speak clearly about what had happened since he was being investigated for it. The team released him on the track with poor tire tightening, which could result in a penalty on the Oviedo man. And that’s why I don’t want to give too many hints.

“Let’s see what happens,” he said. But regardless of whether he got the point or not, Fernando emphasized the opportunity he missed in this race because of his good running in his car: “I think it’s the same at Silverstone and here are my two best races. There we finished fifth and here it is only tenth, but I feel faster than the cars we are competing in and that is a good feeling ”, concludes the Asturian, whose luck is not fair. Nor is the reliability of his car and the mistakes of his team.Alonso already said on Friday: “Another problem with my car, Ocon is always running smoothly.” Things of destiny.Ocon was 6th and Alonso suffered again despite the very fast.
