Alpine F1 Team Fernando Alonso has scored only two points in four races in the 2022 season, but has been driving at the highest level of competitiveness since 2012 for the first-ever Miami GP. I am confident.
Two-time F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso has sunk to 15th place in the Drivers’ Championship. Esteban Ocon, a teammate of the Alpine F1 Team, is 9th and 6th higher.
Fernando Alonso received the checkered flag in 9th place in the opening round in Bahrain, but has since retired in Saudi Arabia and Imola.
Fernando Alonso admits that it was a “tough” period for himself and his team, but he is confident about his level of driving.
“It’s tough to get only two points,” said Fernando Alonso.
“It feels a bit strange to score two points in the championship after a competitive start to the best season in the last decade, perhaps 2012.”
“At that time, I wasn’t as competitive as I felt in the first four races, so what happened at some events was very unlucky. It was pretty easy to get to sixth place in Saudi Arabia. Qualifying in Melbourne, And the problem in the race, and even in Imola, we got out of the race on the first lap. “
“I’ve been very competitive in every session I’ve done so far this year. I think we’re in the top 6 and top 7, but that was in my McLaren era, the last few seasons of Ferrari, or last year’s Alpine. Certainly it didn’t happen. That’s the fact I’m referring to. “
“So it’s only a matter of time before the results come out. I feel strong and I feel fast now. The car feels good so I’m really looking forward to the weekend race.”
Fernando Alonso finished his second free practice session at the Maiam GP in 5th fastest time. Asked about what he was looking forward to in his first race at the Miami International Autodrome, Alonso cites the “challenge” of adapting to new street circuits as well as new ones.
“Of course, it’s always a challenge when it comes to a new circuit,” continued Fernando Alonso.
“We need to be confident right away on the circuit. There is no room for mistakes on the street circuit and the walls are so close that it’s a challenge for each of us to adapt as quickly as possible.”
“Also, these types of trucks, when new, will evolve significantly and improve in seconds when you jump into the car, so you need to keep going with confidence, so it’s fun. It’s going to be a weekend. I’m here to see the excitement from the fans and everyone and we’re all very happy. I think it’s a good weekend. ”
