Before the FIA communicated the ten-second penalty to Carlos Sainz after Aston Martin’s claim, Fernando Alonso took stock of the Austrian Grand Prix, the third race of the nine held so far in which he did not get on the podium .
“Eight points. And on Saturday four. There are twelve points in a worse weekend, in which Ferrari is faster than us and even McLaren has more pace. It’s fine”, started the Spaniard.
Of course, there is no place for rest: “But it is not to sit down and rest until Silverstone, we have to study what we can improve. The races in Austria and Spain are our darkest points in the championship and we have to analyze why.”
An “unbridled and soccer passion”
With fifth place, the second ‘worst’ result of the season, Alonso wanted to refer to the effusiveness with which Formula 1 fans live, a sport of tenths and full of nuances.
“The problem is going to be that we are going to experience the entire championship with an unbridled passion for football. Every Sunday there are huge ups and downs, and that cannot be,” he said in statements collected by ‘Ace’.
“This is a Formula 1 world championship, the cars behave differently in different temperatures, circuits, fast and slow corner… this is much more technical than the emotion of winning a game 3-0 or losing it,” he explained.
“We see a 22-race championship in the long term, but the fans will experience ups and downs. We’ll see how we are at Silverstone,” he added.
Of course, the final balance, which he analyzed in a soccer key, was very positive: “The fans have to see the world championship of drivers. We have taken a point from the fourth this weekend. This is so. We tied, if we go back to football, and the one behind us has lost”.
