Fernando Alonso labels nightmare Singapore Grand Prix “a race to forget”

Alonso didn’t finish in the top 10 for the first time in F1 2023, classifying 15th at the chequered flag.
The Spaniard’s race took a turn for the worse when he cut the pit lane under the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Safety Car, pick☂ing up a f🌃ive-second time penalty in the process.
As he served the penalty ༒later on in the race, a slow pit stop ru🙈ined his chance of scoring points, dropping to the back.
He then had a trip down the escape 𒉰road in the final sector, cementing a shocking weekend for the team.
“It was a difficult race," Alonso said af🌱ter the race. “Obviously we didn't haveജ the pace that we were hoping for.
“[There were] too many mistakes going into the pit lane, slow pit stop, tr🌼affic all in 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 tho𒆙se and get better in Japan.
“We killed the tyres very quickly after th♋e pit-stops. So i🐻t was a tough race.”

Aston Martin ൲expected a strong Singapore Grand Prix as their car has tended to flo🤡urish 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 𓂃the lead group.
“We need tಞo look at the details,” he added. “Obviously, we don't have the answers yet, but we need to ge💞t better for Japan.
“We all expected a strong weekend in Singapore. It was not the c💜ase, so maybe in Japan, we don't expect magic there and maybe we get a nice surprise.”
