Fernando Alonso has a very positive attitude for the Miami Grand Prix, although the two-time world champion has only two points to his name so far. However, he is confident that he is now flying better than in previous years.
After four rounds of the season, he is 15th in the individual standings, while Esteban Ocon, his Alpine F1 teammate, is ninth with 20 points. But Alonso was only able to finish in the top ten in Bahrain, before failing to finish in Saudi Arabia and Imola, and earning no points in Australia after technical difficulties in qualifying.
“If we talk about the level of competition, it’s the best start to the season, probably in 10 years, maybe since 2012, so it’s a bit strange that I only earned two points,” Alonso said on the official website of Alonso. the championship. – In previous years I was not as fast as I felt in these four races, but I was dogged by exceptional bad luck related to various conditions.
In Saudi Arabia I missed 6th place, although I could easily have taken it; in Melbourne I was of course prevented by problems in qualifying, which continued into the race, and in Imola I was knocked out on lap 1.
At the same time, we were quite competitive in every session this season. I think we’re in the top six or seven in terms of speed. Certainly, this was not the case when I drove for McLaren, neither in recent years at Ferrari, nor last year at Alpine. These are the facts to which I refer.
Therefore, the results will be, it’s only a matter of time. The car makes a good impression, so I feel confident and can show high speeds, so I’m in a good mood for the race weekend.”
The Spaniard’s words are partly confirmed by the 5th result after the results of yesterday’s training in Miami, although he noted that everyone has to solve difficult problems on the new track: “Of course, when you arrive at an unknown track, you will you always have difficulties, you have to feel confident right away, and the city circuits leave no room for mistakes, the barriers are very close here and it’s up to each rider to adapt as quickly as possible.
In addition, on this type of track, when they are brand new, the surface condition changes very quickly, and when you are behind the wheel, the results improve immediately in seconds. Therefore, your confidence must also grow very quickly to keep up with this pace of progress. So the weekend promises to be fun…”
