First, and most important, for that “false alarm” that deprived the Asturian of pressing max verstappen and without which probably would have been very close to Dutchbut in front.
Later, due to weather conditions. The first practice sessions were practically not played and in the third sessions, given the heavy rain, Alonso could not complete his plans.
As reported by ‘formu1a.uno’, the two-time world champion had in mind to test “a more experimental setup with the suspension”but the extreme characteristics of the track made it impossible.
After the race, Fernando himself acknowledged that Aston Martin You don’t yet know the full potential of your new upgrade package, which includes a new floor.
“Still we have to understand and optimize the package a bit and in Austria, obviously with the sprint, we will only have FP1 to do that,” he said.
“But yes, it is what it is. The circuit will be good and perhaps also better for the package this with a strange designlet’s say,” he added.
It should be remembered that Fernando Alonso he is a master in terms of set-ups. In Alpine, Ocon had to ‘copy’ his having a manifest rhythm deficit, and in Aston Martin the case has been repeated Lance Stroll.
