Fernando Alonso extensively analyzed this Sunday's career in the Great Britain Prizefrom which nothing is happy for the ninth place when I could have fish much more. The Spanish pilot considers that Aston Martin He failed in the strategy, since “the first stop was two or three laps very late” and “the second two or three turns very early”, which condemned him in the struggle for the “podium.”
«The race has been complicated and difficult to read. Very slippery the ground when we had the intermediates, then that big shower arrived with the security car. The visibility became ugly there, we saw nothing and then in the end when we put those of Seco also only saw a lane as in all the races you pass from Inter a dry. A difficult career to execute and for us a lost opportunity. I am not logically happy, we came out sevenths, I ended ninth … We have missed something. I have to see the race, ”Alonso began very disgusted after the twelfth test of the Formula 1 2025 World.
«I lost 25 seconds in three laps. It has been three or four laps earlier than it had to have been. The team calls you boxes, has more data than you, all time per return that are being done, the temperatures of the tires, believed they were going down, the laps of last year … They know the evolution and when it is time to stop and they decided that this was the time and have been 25 seconds. The first stop has more excuse because we were going Hamilton, Russell, Gasly And I, we were going from fifth to eighth that group of cars and it is difficult to take risk when you are fifth, sixth or seventh. It is very easy how much you are the 16th, you can take risks because nothing changes you. Yes, we also stop too late and say that it is more understandable because we all stop at the same time, we all mistakes in that group and we left behind Esteban, Nico, Lance… The first stop was two or three laps very late, the second two or three laps very early and that adds to that you can end on the podium coming out the 18th, Nico, or ninth coming out seventh like us. A race from that disappointing point of view. So are the races, ”he analyzed extensively.
«I said 'I'm going to stop when I stop' because in this type of situations his group of engineers usually woke up. That is why sometimes I find it difficult to understand why we have another car that is giving us information and if the other car is up to third position I do not know how from this side of the garage we do not take information. We have it at home. Sometimes the strategy is good for you, sometimes badly. We take two points and go home, ”he said in DAZN.
Alonso, happy with the improvements
«It has been a step forward. The car felt a little better, the data shows that in some parts of the circuit we have improvement, in others it is more difficult to see it. It is a very small improvement package, but it is always welcome. As the grill was that in two tenths there are five or six cars, if it is half tenth or one we take it and also show that the team does not stop pushing. We are not happy to be in the middle of the grill and we want to be close to the top 10 here at the end of the year, ”he said.
«I had degradation, I think it also. We push a lot at the beginning too. To go so far, try to recover, I abused the tire in the first laps and in the end he advanced me Albon. From eighth to ninth it does not change much. The first highlight would not have done it, there was an immediate security car. I knew there was going to be because it was obvious that there was going to be another accident. I would have delayed the outstanding. I have enjoyed driving, the adverse conditions makes it very funny.
«It keeps you alert not to get out and everything, but when there are these conditions and Leclerc It is behind, Antonelli And you can't take advantage of these opportunities that pass sporadically during the year it leaves you bad taste. You have to enjoy what is left by day, return home and think about the next one. Yes I would like a day that there are these changing conditions to stop in the return that others stop, ”he added.
Newey Pasa de 2025
On Adrian Newypresent during the weekend in the circuit of SilverstoneAlonso said that “he is working, involved and very motivated.” «Yes it is true that this year's car does not seem interest. Whenever we have asked him a question and go to another office. It is with 2026 mode ».
