“Everything’s fine”, that was the answer by Fernando Alonso, that they collect in the newspaper ‘Marca’, to the question of how things were with Carlos Sainz. Yes, after the incident between the two in Baku, which the Asturian put on the table, any hint of a problem that could exist between the two Spanish pilots has been solved.
This has been confirmed by the two-time world champion and Aston Martin driver at a press conference: “We have spoken before about the national anthem and everything is fine”.
“Sometimes things like that happen. When you see the video it was less than I thought. Everything’s fine”, insists.
In addition, he referred to his overtaking of Sainz himself on lap 14 of Azerbaijan GP: “I could have overtaken him in Turn 3, but it was in Turn 4. The car was going very well.”
“It was crucial, because it is never easy to overtake a Ferrari. That made me able to put by train with Leclerc, and it made the race easier for me”, explains Alonso.
And it is that he was very, very close to the podium in Baku: “Very happy with the pace of the car. We weren’t as competitive as in the first three races, but the pace was very good.”
“We finished one second behind Leclerc and that is very encouraging. In a bad weekend we fought for the podium against Ferrari’s best weekend”, Alonso sentence.
Thus ends that slight hint of problems between Alonso and Sainz, after Fernando said that Carlos threw him against the wall in the Azerbaijan short race.
