Alonso suffered an off at the final corner duri🌟ng the early stages of Q1.

He sustain♏ed some significant floor damage as a result, leaving Aston Martin trying to fix it during the remainder of qu🔯alifying.

Alonso went on to qualify only ninth - his worst result of the season as he was out-qualified by teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lance Stroll for the first time in F1 2023.

Speaking after the session, Alonso revealed - like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - he made a mistake at Turn 10 which cost him a shot at qualifying second behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

“In the Q3 lap I was coming for 1m12.7s, until Turn 10, that agai♌n I ran wi🌜de into the damp part on the outside,” Alonso explained.

“S𓂃o when I saw now that 1m12.7s is P2 and P3, I was surp⛦rised.

“That’s why I’m optimistic for tomorrow because the car seems to have a lot of pac♚e.”

Reflecting on his Q1 error, he explained: “Q1 probably did compromise everything today. I did a mistake, I went on the damp part of the circuit, I guess, in the last c🃏orner because I lost the car, and then it was very costly because that gravel completely destroyed the floor.

“And yeah, it hurts even more because it’s the out-lap, I wasn’t even pushing. It was not a push lap,ℱ it was the o♏ut-lap.

“So, yeah, disappointed with my performance today. 🔯Hopefully I can do a better Sunday.”

It was an unusual qualifying session in Spain as Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes all had just one car in the final shootou🍬t for pole.

Alonso descജribed Saturday at Barcelona asಌ “strange”.

“It was a strange qualifying – to see [Chไarles] Leclerc out of Q1, [Sergio] Perez, [George] Russell out of Q2, we were struggling as well,” he added.

“So, I think👍 it was tricky for everyone🦹 but in my case it was just my mistake, in the out-lap of Q1, that compromises everything.

“But the race is tom♛orrow, the car still felt competitive even with some damage on the floor.”
