Fernando Alonso sets record straight after “unlucky” radio rant
"If I'm unlucky, I cannot imagine the other 18 or 17 drivers here," says F🦩🌳ernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso insists “I don’t consider myself unlucky” after a team radio rant at Imola to the c𓄧o♏ntrary.
The two-time F1 driver’s champion has staggeringly not scor꧙ed a point💞 in 2025, heading into this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix, the eighth round.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin driver Alonso promisingly started fifth last time ou𒊎t at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix - but finished 11th.
“We are so unlucky. Everything is wrong for us🦄 this year,” he frustratingly said via team radio.
Alonso was asked in Monaco whether a ritu🀅al or a lucky mascot couꦫld reverse his fortune.
“I don't bel♈ieve in all those things,” he responded.
“It's what we deserve, probably. We've been unlucky many moments, I think this year we've b🌊een uncompetitive, which is the unl🎉uckiest part of everything.
“When you are more competitive, any strategy works, any 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car is a small problem.
“But when you are not compಞ♔etitive, anything that is not in your way, it takes you out of the points.
“But in seven raceꦏs, I think, races that we had the possibility to score points, many things happened, we went off in the gravel, my mistake in Austr🧸alia.
“Then in China, with three disqualified cars, we coul𓆏d score points. But we had five on the brakes, already in lap two, and we had 🍷to retire the car.
“We've been uncompetitive for꧃ many races. One race that we are competitive [at Imola], and we will be in the points for merit for the very first time, there is this first Safety Car.
“In the first six races, when we were P12, nothing happened for 60 laps, and🌠 we finished P12.
“So these kinds of things are always frustrating in the car, but this 🎉is a very private conversation with my engineer and m💮y team.
“We do the debriefs, we say how uncompetitive we are, we say how competitive we c♍ertainly are in Imola, and we could score points, we spend the whole Sunday on the strategy, looking for these firsꩲt points, and things like that.
“You send a message 💧specifically to them, a very private conversation, when you don't know the context of everything.
“You just put the radio, it makes no sense, but this is the normal ♎rule for Formula One.
“But I don't consider myself unlucky.
“I mean, two times wor𝐆ld cham🐈pion, two times Le Mans winner, WEC champion, 24-hour Daytona champion…
“So ifಞ I'm unlucky, I cannot imagine the other 18 or 17 drivers here!”
Fernando Alonso: "90% of F1 success due to the package you drive"

The 2025 Indy 500 is this weekend, an iconic American race which 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso has participated in several times.
Cadillac, set to become Formula 1’s 11th team in 2026, have left the door ajar t✱o an IndyCar driver jumping across. Colton Herta🌠 is frequently touted.
A꧟lonso was asked what skills an IndyCar 🏅driver must acquire to enter F1.
“I think here i𝕴t's more about having the right package, the right car,” he said.
“Not making mistakes, to have a goꦑod organisation with experienc😼e.
“The driver side is a little bit easie💖r, ꦯI think all the IndyCar drivers know how to drive cars fast.
“Here 9💖0% of your success is dictated by the package you're driving.
“So it's more about the team preparation. B♈ut it's going to be hopefully a good opportunity for them with 🍎the change of regulations, everyone starts from zero and it's a good moment to enter the sport.”
Aston Martin are set to bring Adrian Newey to the F1 paddock wearing their 🐬colours for the first time this weekend in Monaco.
The scale of 💫Newey’s work might soon become clไear to him.
Alonso described: “The feeling is still a difficult ☂car to drive for sure, 𝐆a little bit inconsistent…”
