Alonso: “The result was better than the pace”

Fernando Alonso happy with results achieved at 2023 F1 British GP Even though his car had a slower pace than the rest of the race. As happened in Austria, The green cars showed their weaknesses in the high-speed corners and were far from contending for the podium in an evenly-matched group with more Red Bulls chasing.among them Different movies could be seen each week depending on the track characteristics.

Further expectations were placed on the development of Aston Martin, which had to pursue further performance, But Alonso had already warned on Saturday that it didn’t have to be catastrophic.. You’ll get better clues. Some tracks should suffer like this, others should aim for more. For the time being, Oviedo needed to reduce damage on this track, and Alonso finished seventh in a car that was not ready for seventh. He was out of rhythm, clinging to the faster cars behind him and benefiting from the ‘safety car’ which gave him wings.

“We were slow in every session all weekend, and it was the same in the race. Gasly at the beginning, ‘Czech’ at the end, Albon lacked rhythm. But well, we tried to stay on track for a long time on the medium tyre, so we benefited from the ‘safety car’. We took the opportunity to put in some soft stuff and try to maintain our position from there. In the end we lost to ‘Czech’ Perez and lost two points, but he was going so fast that I think seventh place was a bit better than us. As a result, the pace was a little better,” commented the pilot from Asturias.

“Positives? Absolutely. Because look at the other teams, Ferrari for example. They flew here all weekend and finished 9th and 10th, so that’s something to avoid,” he told DAZN. Added to F1.

It’s clear that Aston Martin is no longer the podium-winning car on every type of track it was. The rest of the team finished their homework. But there is still a lot left. Next up on the calendar, two weeks from now, in Hungary with its gentle curves, Monaco without walls, the film could be different. So the Asturian chooses to be on top again, or that’s the theory. Otherwise, it means his car’s performance will suffer. Because this is the type of track that Alonso excels at, as he already demonstrated in Monaco, where he was close to pole position and victory. Conversely, being competitive again on the mousetrap track would support the theory that there is a clear change in performance and results between Ferrari and Ferrari. Mercedes, Aston Martin and now McLaren and Williams We await the arrival of further improvements from you, depending on the track and its characteristics.
