Fernando Alonso fires “lucky” jibe at Ferrari after finishing within 1s of Charles Leclerc in Baku
Alonso finished within a second of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc in the race for the podi🐟um in Sunday’s race in Baku.
It was an impressive r﷽ecovery from the Spaniard, who started from sixth on the grid, while Leclerc was on pole position.
Tyre degradation has been Ferrari’s achilles heel in F1 2023 - it is also one of Aston Martin’s strengths.
Alonso bel🎀ieves had tyre degradation been greater, it’s likely he’d have🅰 been on the podium rather than Leclerc.
“I think they got lucky,” Alonso told Sky Sports F✨1. “The hard tyres was less degradation thไan expected.
“I think we put the hard tyre [on] when the Safety Car came and it was 38 laps to the end, and it held on quite well, and also there were some clouds now towards the end, so the t♊rack temperature was dropping.
“I think with ꦚthe mediums, the Ferraris they had a massive degradation in the first stint, so on a normal hot race, I think they will struggle a little bit more. Today was good for them, but Miami is going be a different thing.”
It wasn’t a smooth race weekend✤ for Aston Martin, who encountered DRS issues throughout the two qualifying🌟 sessions.
Given their difficulties, Alonso thi🍨nks Aston Martin did incredible to finish just within a second of Leclerc.
“The 🌄summary oꦚf the weekend is that Aston had a tricky Baku weekend let’s say,” Alonso added.
“With the DRS problems, on the setup, we were not th𝕴at fast in any of the sessions, and we’re still one se💝cond from the podium.
“And Ferrari, they had the perfect weekend, pole position on t⛄he main race, pole position on the sprint race, super fast car and they were just one second from the Astons. So overal♚l, we have to be happy.”
