168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso was praised for his attempt to block 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes from gaining a point for the fastest lap at the F1 Emilia-Romagna🌺 Grand Prix.

Ultimately, Alonso failed in his audacious bid and George Russell pocketed a bonus point for 🍎Mercedes at Imola.

The driv🃏er who records the fastest lap at an F1 grand prix - irrespective of their finishing position - banks one bonus point for the drivers’ standings and for their team in the constructors’ championship.

A dreadful weekend for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aston Martin’s Alonso was nearly salvaged with a last-ga♋sp attempt to thwart Merced🤪es.

Russell♔, who fini♔shed in P6, was on course to set the fastest lap.

Ted Kravitz reported for Sky Sports from the Imola paddock: “Alonso, the cheeky guy that he is, pitted with two laps remaining to try t🎃o steal the point away from Mercedes, for the fastest lap.

“Fernando put the so�✱�ft tyre on. He wouldn’t have been awarded the point.

“Butꦬ he would have made sure that Mercedes didn’t get it𝔍!

“Considering Aston Martin and Mercedes are next to each other in the constructorsꦺ’ table at the moment, even though they are separate🧸d by 30 points.

“Fernando and Aston thought: ‘You never know what’s going to happen, we might end🌠 up in a constructors’ fight with Mercedes where one point is important, so let’s box, put a soft tyre on, nick it off them so Mercedes don’t get it!’

“Which is just brilliant, it 𒐪is brilliant, both from Fಌernando and Aston Martin…

“Unfortunately for Alonso he messed 💛up his two laps where he had the chance to get the fastest lap.

“The fastest lap remained with Russell.”

Alonso was restricted to P19 at Imola after a weekend tꦦo forget𒐪.

He crashed during practice on Saturday and, although his car was fixed to 🍒take part in qualifying, his luck was not rebuilt.

Alonso was in the gravel during Q1 anꦰd finished 20th, promoted one position by Logan Sargeant’s deleted lap.

His weekend largely ruined already, Alonso started the grand prix from the pitlane so that Aston Martin couඣld carry out some late set-up changes.

The grand prix was used predominan⛦tly as an extended test sessi♌on for him.

Aston Martin had brought upgrades to Imola.

Alonso was asked afterwards about what he learned from the AMR24: “We need to wait and see all the data that we gathered today and ask the team what they saw [that was] differe🅷nt between the two cars.

“We opted to set-up different in my car and, yeah, let’ꦿs see if we found 🐼a direction for the next few races.

♚“It was a tough weekend, obviously qualifying dictates everything here.

“It will be the same in Monaco, so weꦑ need to do that perfect Saturday that obviously makes 𓄧things easier for Sunday.”

Teammate Lance Stroll claimed poi⛦nts, after starting from 13th and ending in P9.

“We were hoping ꦆfor a Safety Car and so we were staying out a very long time, and then at the end it was fun to pass some guys,” Stroll said.

Stroll added about le🌞arning how to utilise the new upgrades: “I think so, I hope soꩲ. We’re not as competitive as we want to be right now, we’ve got to keep pushing.”
