Spanish Fernando Alonso matured wildly in the Australian GP time trial.
The age president of the F1 series fought steadily even from the pole position Charles Leclercin and Max Verstappen with. Unfortunately, only Alpine used by Alonso was hit by a hydraulic failure and the man crashed into the safety fences of Albert Park’s park track.
The race itself then became more troubled after the strategy failed. In the end, Alonso was the last driver to arrive at the checkered flag, even though his car was clearly faster than the third-place finisher. George Russell.

– We were much faster than the Mercedes on this track. This was a missed opportunity.
Alpine team manager Otmar Szafnauer said The Race to the website that the part that caused the hydraulic leak in the time trial was worth about two euros.
– It was an oil tank O-ring seal, he said.
– Because it was leaking, the oil got out. We fixed it by replacing the gasket.
If the part had lasted, Alonso’s race would have been completely different.
– He would have started on medium bikes, would not have suffered from a safety car and would certainly have fought for the top4 rankings, the team manager decided.
