Fernando Alonso did not have the ideal classification in Austria. The Asturian, one of the big favorites for everything on the Red Bull track, could only be seventh and was even behind Lance Stroll, his teammate at Aston Martin.
Yes, without a doubt, the atypical situation of Fernando. Firstly, for starting from “so far”, in quotes seeing where he made an appearance in the rest of the races at the start of the race, and secondly, because his superiority over the Canadian is total, both in the long term and in the qualifying pace.
But he didn’t have his day in Austria. He didn’t have his day like so many like Sergio Pérez and George Russell. And when he came out of AMR23, he explained the reason why he didn’t have an “ideal situation” in “quality”.
And the same thing happened to everyone. The FIA had fun and not exactly a little with the track limits and canceled, beware, more than 40 rounds to cross the white line.
Among them, that of Alonso in Q2 who was about to leave him aside. so that it doesn’t happen, Aston Martin He acted by doing something that wasn’t and wasn’t in the plans of Fernando and the English brand.
“Our Q2 time was erased and he forced us to put a bonus game tires to progress,” says Alonso.
And he explains: “It only left us with one opportunity with new tires in Q3. It’s not ideal.”
Alonso, yes, is optimistic in front to ‘quality’ for the sprint and for the sprint itself this Saturday, where the first points of the weekend will be distributed.
