Alpine is disappointed with Saturday’s results. Esteban Ocon crashed his car in the morning and did not participate in qualifying, and Fernando Alonso did not make the final …
Fernando Alonso (11th): “The car worked well, so I’m disappointed to start 11th.
In the second part of qualifying, Carlos Sainz prevented me from turning 11 and by 16th I had already lost about five tenths – my circle was ruined.
In the first run we put on rolled tires, leaving us with another set for the second, but this loss of time prevented us from reaching the final.
I thought I could be fifth or sixth, but I couldn’t. Let’s see how everything goes tomorrow, because points are only awarded on Sunday.
Esteban Ocon (did not participate in qualifying): “I can only apologize to the team. It is always annoying to have an accident. The whole team has worked hard to get the most out of the car, it’s a shame I couldn’t show its true potential.
The blow was hard. I got a good shake in the cockpit. Fortunately, I’m fine, but you have to think about putting protective barriers in that place, because yesterday Carlos Sainz also had a serious accident there. Safety must be a priority.
We will focus on getting the car going again and sum up the day, and tomorrow I will start a race where I have nothing to lose.”
