Fernando Alonso labels nightmare Singapore Grand Prix “a race to forget”

Alonso didn’t finish in the top 10 for the first time in F1 2023, classifying 15th at the chequered flag.
The Spaniard’s race took a turn for the worse when he cut the pit lane under the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car, picking up a five𝔍-second time penalty in the process.
As he served the penalty later on in the race, a slow pit stop ruined his chance of scoring points, d𝔍ropping🍎 to the back.
He then had a trip down the esc✱ape road in the fin💝al sector, cementing a shocking weekend for the team.
“It wa🅺s a difficult race," Alonso said after the race. “Obviously we didn't have the pace that we were hoping for.
“[There were] too many mistakes going into the pit lane, slow pit stop, tra🎐ffic all in one race. A race to forget, but as I said only one race. That's the good thing.
“Hopefully, we can get rid of 🐠all these bad things, learn fr🍰om those and get better in Japan.
“We killed the tyres very quickly after the pit-stops. S♒o it was a tou﷽gh race.”

Aston Martin expected a strong Singapore Grand Prix as their ca🔯𒐪r has tended to flourish on high downforce tracks.
Before his slow second stop, Alonso was overtaken by the Alpine of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon, and didn’t hꦍave the pace to stick with the lead group.
“🌞We need to look at the details,” he added. “Obviously, we don'🅺t have the answers yet, but we need to get better for Japan.
“We all expected a strong wee💮kend in Singapore. It was not the case, so maybe in Japan, we don't expect magic there and maybe we get a nice𒉰 surprise.”
