Neither Alpine with the data in hand was able to explain the Fernando Alonso’s heroics in qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix this same season.
The two-time champion Formula 1when the forces equalized with heavy rain on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit, he pulled an incredible fast lap out of his hat that catapulted him to the first line of departure for Sunday.
Already in the race, a new engine problem in your Alpine made him lose up to a second per lap and, to make matters worse, a penalty left his seventh place finish in a ninth.
In spite of this, the sensations under the rain were more than positive and the Asturian showed the great level that he has this year and was only behind Max Verstappen in ‘qualy’.
This weekend, at Brazilian Grand Prix, we could attend a new exhibition of Alonso. The weather forecast on the circuit interlagos it’s about rain and storms and, remembering what happened this season in Canada, Fernando has the right to dream.
On Friday, in qualifying for the sprint race, there is a 58% chance of thunderstormsalthough the ‘fat’ comes later.
On Saturday, after a whole day of rain, the forecast is for electric storm on the São Paulo track around 8:30 p.m., when the sprint will start.
Already on Sunday, the race will be held at 7 pm and the forecast for an electrical storm will remain, with a 64% chance of rain.
It remains to be seen how the forecast evolves throughout the week, but everything leads one to hope that we will have a wet weekend at Interlagos. Remembering what happened in Canada, Will Fernando Alonso be able to walk on water again?
