Fernando Alonso term More than pissed off the Mexican GP. Or, rather, ‘finished’. The reason for the quotation marks, which the Asturian returned to not being able to cross the checkered flag for the umpteenth reliability problem on his Alpine. The two-time champion, getting out of the car, could not be more fed up that everything always falls to him.
He compared the situation to when he was at Honda, except that, as he said, at McLaren both cars stopped and in the French brand only theirs is for. Now it’s been Jenson Button, his fellow sufferer in the Woking team, who has given him a cape.
And who has charged against Alpine, because the Englishman, world champion with Brawn GP in 2009, cannot be more sorry to see Alonso get out of the car due to problems beyond his control.
“It’s hard to see Fernando like this. To see a driver of this caliber with all these problems when, At 41, he is still in his prime,” he recounted in words to ‘Sky Sports F1’.
And he continues: “What happened in Mexico is somewhat complicated. Alonso seemed positive on the radio when his stop was approaching.
“They told him the hard one worked, and Fernando seemed really up for the challenge,” Button account.
But then his engine said enough: “It’s amazing how quickly you can go from having a great race to a disaster. Power unit problem, he was overtaken by a couple of drivers… and one was his teammate.”
“It was tough, but Fernando seemed calm on the radio compared to other times. Then he got carried away when he got out of the car.”exposed Jenson.
Now it’s Aston Martin: “He hopes to find a more reliable package, I’m sure. Then you can sprinkle some ‘magic dust’. He sure will.”
