Alonso: “I could have done something else, I made a mistake”

MADRID, 28 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish driver Fernando Alonso (Alpine) has regretted that “an error” of his own has prevented him from starting further ahead in the Monaco Grand Prix, where he will start seventh, and believes that he could have done “more” during the qualifying session, and is convinced that this Sunday’s race will be “a bit chaotic and very stressful”.

“I made a mistake in turn 5. I started the regular lap, with the brakes too cold, in turn 3 I started to doubt whether to abort the lap or continue, I made a change in the steering wheel to make a distribution of braking to the rear, and all these things, in Monaco, you don’t have time to do them. I lost the braking point for a moment. I could have done more today, a mistake of mine doesn’t leave a good taste in the mouth. Let’s see tomorrow, with the rain, what can be done “he told DAZN.

In spite of everything, the Spaniard considers that the session was “pretty good”. “On the first run we were fifth, so now when we lost fifth to Norris and to Russell… We might as well have been ahead of them if I had completed this last run. Tomorrow is the race and with the rainy conditions I think It’s going to be a bit chaotic, very stressful for us and maybe pretty on TV. It’s going to be a very long afternoon tomorrow,” he concluded.
