As he served the penalty la🔯ter on in the race, a slow pit stop ruined his chance of scoring p𓆏oints, dropping to the back.

He then had a trip down the escape road in the final sector, ceไmenting a shockingꦅ weekend for the team.

“It was a difficult rac🔥e," Alonso said after the race.ಌ “Obviously we didn't have the pace that we were hoping for.

“[There were] too many🔯 mistakes going into the pit lane, slow pit stop, traffic all i𒐪n one race. A race to forget, but as I said only one race. That's the good thing. 

“Hopefully, we can get rid of all these bad🍸 things, learn from thos♍e and get better in Japan.

“We killed the tyres very quickly after the pit-stops. So 𝔉it was a tough ღrace.”

Aston Martin expected a strong Singapore Grand Prix as their car has ꦯtended to flourish on high downforce tracks.

Before his slow second stop, Alonso was overtaken by the Alpine of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon, and didn’t have the pace to♕ stick with the lead group.

“We need to look at the details,” he added. “꧙Obviously, we don't have the answers yet, but we need to get better for Japan.

“We all expected a strong weeke📖nd in Singapore. It was not the case, so maybe in Japan, we don't expect magic there and maybe w🍒e get a nice surprise.”
