Unmissable: Alonso’s radio after another Alpine failure

Alonso still no luck. He could not believe what was happening to him. At 8 of 11 Grand Prize arguably so far, something unrelated to his driving has resulted in the aggravation of his result. This is fact.

He lost a lot of points while on the road. At the beginning of the course I said that luck always pays. But we are already in the middle of the season (11 of 22 races) and problems continue to affect the Spanish.

This weekend, in ‘settled‘his floor was damaged, the next day he could not start because his car was not working and yesterday his equipment broke down again. The Spaniard made sure he could fight for sixth place, but when he made his theoretical final stop one of the wheels tightened tightly.

He had to do a full lap at a slow pace and go back inside to put on the rubber. Until then he showed very good speed on his return. He extended his stop and was only slowed by an intense defense from the slower Zhou on a small DRS train. He was sixth when he stopped and it would knock him down, but with a new tire he knew that by the end of the race he could push with better tire to climb back to sixth place. But he was 10th because of a bad pit stop.

Far from the anger, heat, still on top of the car after crossing the finish line, he spoke to his engineer where he wanted to greet the team and motivate him for the remaining races.

“Can we be sixth or seventh?” Fernando asked on the radio.

“Yes. Ricciardo is the car in front (9th). Sixth or seventh position is really on the table.”they answer.

“So fast. It is very difficult to understand. Too many things this season. We will have a better second half of the season. Great job, team “added Alonso, noting that his car was fast and crying a new setback.

“Both at Silverstone and here are my two best races. There we finished fifth and here in tenth, but I feel faster than the cars we fought and that was a good feeling”, he said later. in ‘DAZN F1’, trying to be positive after what happened.
