Fernando Alonso: We need to talk less and do more

At Spain’s home race, Fernando Alonso finished only twelfth and earned no points for the third time in four races. After this result, the Aston Martin driver called on his team to talk less about prospects and work more.

“Of course I’m disappointed that we didn’t get a single point, but we deserved it because the car had no speed all weekend,” Racingnews365 quoted Fernando Alonso. “The race was very difficult because the car slid a lot in the corners. This in turn led to the destruction of the tires – we ended up dealing with two problems at once.

We had no pace and this was made worse by serious relegation. Overall, the race turned out to be very long for us. The car lacks downforce, but at the moment there is nothing we can do about that.

But you shouldn’t get too angry and give up. It’s time to talk less and do more to achieve more.

Immediately after the checkered flag I started thinking about what we could do differently for the next round in Austria. The upcoming race is expected to be just as painful. Barcelona is characterized by long corners and fast sections, but the track at Silverstone has the same characteristics, so it will be difficult there too.

We need to upgrade the car a lot because we are not getting results at the moment. You have to work hard to improve in every race, but do it without unnecessary talk and excessive promises.”
