Aston Martin F1 driver Fernando Alonso recently stated that the team’s main focus is the development of their 2024 car.
Just like many others, the British team also tested some new parts during the FP1 session at Silverstone on Friday, which Alonso later revealed could be used in next year’s car. Looking back at Aston Martin this season, everyone, including the two-time world champion, is hoping they can come close to fighting for victories and championships.
according Sports WorldFernando Alonso said:
“Our focus is not on the race. It’s long-term. Until yesterday Friday, FP1 was fully dedicated to the 2024 car. Just to say a little bit where the whole team boss is right now. It’s hard to tell on Saturday. It’s true that Sundays have been our strong point and I’m confident we’ll We could come back this Sunday, but I can’t tell you if we’ll finish in the top five or top seven or if we’ll go backwards in the race.”
he added:
“There’s a lot to see. But I’m not worried. We’ve done 10 races, 10 Q3s, and I’d sign it. And tomorrow we’ll see how it finishes, in Austria it also seemed like everybody was flying us and we ended up ahead of them by scoring more points, so.. “It’s not that we don’t realize we’re lacking in performance today, compared to the first four or five races. It’s obvious and we all see it. But we’re working on it.” (translated by google)
Fernando Alonso analyzes his qualifying performance at Silverstone
It was a disappointing qualifying session for Fernando Alonso at Silverstone. The race will start from P9 on Sunday. The Spaniard thinks he could have finished eighth but it was hard to get into the top seven.
He said:
“I probably lost tenth in turn 7. Because throughout the time trial they were telling me everyone is doing turn seven on the inside and I had a lot of oversteer and I always made it a little longer, I lost more meters but I had more stability. And in Q3 I tried to hit him from the inside as everyone did, it seemed, and I got a blow in which I certainly lost a tenth.”
he added:
“Then when I saw the times, I think we could have passed Alex Albon, so maybe eighth would have been better. But it wasn’t possible to get into the top seven today. That’s where we were supposed to be more or less, eighth or ninth.”
It will be interesting to see how Fernando Alonso started the race on Sunday and if he can finish in the top five.
