“It is a time to learn and collect information for the future,” he says after his second consecutive abandonment
“It’s hard, but it’s not a funeral. It’s not the position we want, but we work very hard to reverse this situation,” he says.
Aston Martin’s race in Mexico was even worse than Austin, with both cars retired and disappointing pace throughout the weekend. The abandonment of Fernando Alonso It was also due to bad fortune, as the Asturian explained: “It has been a difficult weekend and a difficult race. “We received damage under the car from remains of Checo’s car on the first lap,” he commented on DAZN.
It is evident that the situation It is painful for Fernando, who started the year with a string of six podiums and after adding the seventh after the summer break has been losing performance as his team has become stagnant in the battle for development: “It is a difficult time and we try to do all the tests we can to give more information to the factory and try to end with a good result, not with a “bad streak like the one we are going through,” he said after the race.
“It is hard, but it is not the funeral that I see when I come to talk to the press, we work as much as we can and we are not happy with the situation. It is certainly not the position we want, but we are working very hard to reverse this situation. “Sometimes you learn more from difficulties than from celebrations,” Fernando stressed.
Nonetheless, Alonso continues to trust the Silverstone team: “I think the situation can be reversed if we take the right steps, there are three different circuits left that will give us more data about the car. If we hope to fight for podiums, I think not. Right now we are not here to fight for anything. “It is a time to learn and collect information for the future.”
