As happened a week ago in Baku, Fernando Alonso had to deal with the sixth car on the grid in Singapore and managed to score four points with his honorable eighth place.
Despite one lap completed, the double champion performed some great maneuvers such as overtaking Pierre Gaslyovertaking by strategy Hulkenberg or confinement Charles Leclerc.
The Asturian kept the Monegasque glued to his wing for 26 laps despite having the “fastest car”.
In fact, in statements to ‘As’, Alonso left a striking ‘stick’ to Ferrari after the race: “I was trying to follow Nico to give him an ‘undercut’, but the Ferraris… They should have won this race. They were the fastest car this weekend.. So it was clearly not my career.”
For his part, Fernando assures that he gave 100%: “Absolutely, it’s the maximum. Behind the four teams that are in front and in front of Checo. So what is normally a ninth, here it was an eighth. Better than you could ever dream of. “I could have been 15th and I would have had the same feelings.”
“We should have been 15th and 16th. But we are eighth, two seconds behind Ferrari. I don’t know if I can do more.” Win? I can’t win this race. Now we have to raise the level. New parts will arrive in the next races and I hope they will help us to bring more features,” concluded the man from Oviedo, who hopes that in Austin, within a month, Aston Martin will make a significant evolution.
