With the checkered flag waving on the last GP of the season of F1 also ended Fernando Alonso's adventure with Alpine. The Spanish he actually signed un biennial with Aston Martin on which he has already climbed in the last official tests with the 2022 cars.
Nando greets frustrated: "All the problems only on car #14"
Even during the last appointment with the blue-pink Alpine suit, the Basque rider he wasn't very lucky. At the turn 27 in fact, was forced to return to the pits due to an alleged water leaking from the engine on his car, which cost him the training camp. The two-time world champion with what was once the renault f1, today Alpine BWT F1, he intervened, in an interview after the race. Alonso dwelt precisely on this event, pointing out that having had to put the car in the garage before the end of the race was only the summary of his season. The Spaniard also added that this was the main reason that forced him to finish behind Ocon in the standings, which it was not never happened in its career (except in 2015).
Alonso chooses Aston: "Super happy"
On the matter, Fernando said.
“Unfortunately another engine problem, that was the round-up for the year. As you know, there are facts that this year have been a bit against us in car 14. Six DNFs, but we also need to count those that are not taken into consideration as DNFs but were DNFs, like Australia, the problem in qualification. The sprint race in Austria, I didn't even start the race and stuff like that. So I think there are nine or 10 reliability issues, which at this level are obviously not acceptable. And they all happen to my car. In the end I'm happy to finish and start with Aston. I am delighted with this decision and 100% happy to have lent it ”.
