Fernando Alonso, again out of the race. Again for problems in the Alpine. This time at the Mexican Grand Prix. It is the fifth abandonment for him so far this year. Stephen Ocon he has only dropped out twice, despite insisting that he too has had problems.
Antonio Lobatoin ‘Radio Marca’, has analyzed everything that has harmed the pilot in this 2022: “It is not only the retirements that have punished Alonso this year, it is much more. Many decisions, many maneuvers, bad pit stops. I’m not saying that Alpine does it on purpose, from a statistical point of view the year has been terrible.
“It’s 70 points lost. I would be ahead of lando norrissays the journalist. And that way Alpine could be clearly ahead of McLaren, their target at the moment.
“He will have to keep pushing to the death to help Alpine and finish ahead of Ocon. Those are important things for the drivers. It will be used against each other in the future,” says Lobato.
There are two races, Brazil and Abu Dhabi, which Alonso has left with the blue suit. Aston Martin’s green jumpsuit is coming soon. In fact, he will carry out some tests before the end of the year.
With regard to the mess generated in the last few days about Alonso’s words regarding the ease of the world championships Lewis Hamilton and Max VerstappenLobato believes that everything is magnified. “Verstappen’s titles are worth more than Hamilton’s” It was the headline that surely made the British pilot feel bad.
“Anything Alonso says makes the bread rise. It generates a lot of reactions. I think he was wrong and he didn’t really want to detract from it. Only part of what he said stood out,” says Lobato.
The Spaniard is one of the most charismatic on the grill. Each statement of yours is analyzed with a magnifying glass. And that provokes hundreds and hundreds of reactions. And even the anger of a seven-time Formula 1 champion.
