Fernando Alonso met a more than unexpected guest in his Aston Martin during Free Practice 1 of Azerbaijan Grand Prix. While Lance Stroll was complaining on the radio about the two-time champion putting the AMR24 back in a place that doesn’t seem to belong to him with a seventh best time, the Spaniard had a problem that lasted almost a minute… and Thank God it happened in training.
Because after successfully completing the race It might have been a farewell to all of Alonso’s options in Baku. Because Alonso, in the halo of his car, saw how he became addicted a plastic bag which he seemed unable to remove from there.
I’m going slow. Driving with one hand. Taking a lot of risks to get this thing out of your car. before starting his flying lap.
It took as long as it needed to. Almost a minute since he noticed that. there was something until he can remove this bag from the halo of your Aston Martin.
If it had happened in the race, it would have been a different story. There, you can’t afford to go slower, and not have been able to remove it yourself. Well, I’m sure he should have gone through the pits.
But Alonso showed be “multitasking” on the AMR24. Because you can just as easily drive it with one hand while removing a bag from the Aston Martin with the other.
