168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso insists that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aston Martin are experiencing “tough times” after below-par♐ qualifying at his home rac♉e.

Alonso qualified for the F1 Spanish Grand Prix in 11th (he will s♌t🥃art from 10th due to Sergio Perez’s grid penalty).

Teammওate Lance Stroll was 14th on a rough day for Aston Martin.

Notably, both Alpin🤪es qualiꦡfied in front of both Aston Martins.

🦹Alonso was asked if the sight of his former team ah🐓ead was a worry, and responded: “No I think we knew.

“Alpine was in front of us in💙 Monaco, was very close in Canada, here they are j💫ust half a tenth in front so they are getting better and we are getting worse probably!

“So a combination of the two is not great. But you know I think many times we have some things in the𓆏 pipeline that should put us back in the right direction.

“It’s going to be pain♐ful here, it’s going to be painful in Austria, in Silverstone.

“We have to keep scoring points if it’s eighth, if it’s seventh, 🉐ninth, whatever, we cannot give up and stay positive in th🌄ese tough times.”

Aston Martin were the breakthrough team🥃 at the start of laไst season, with Alonso’s podium in Bahrain.

But Ferrari, McLaren and more recently Mercedes have estab♔lished themselves as Red Bull’s closest challengers now.

Alonso was asked when Aston Martin’s pain will end: “Hopefully before summer break. But I think there🧔 is a lot of understanding in the team about♉ what went right, what went wrong.

“Not only this year, I think the second part of last year and this year, I think as all the teams we are getting💫 more and more extreme w✤ith development.

“The cars are mor♌e critical to drive, bu༺t now we understood a few ideas that will bring performance.”

Alonso detailed his Saturday in Barcelona: “We knew th❀at itไ would be very tight in this type of circuit.

“Austria will be extreme, as ꦡif you’re running 1:04s it will be even tighter, so yeah I think I’m happy with the result, even if it is painful to say in ꦐfront of the home grandstands.

“But before qualifying our predictions were a little bit more pessimisti⛄c, even with one car we opted to go with three sets in Q1 which is a sign that you are not very confident.

“All in all to start P10 with Checo’s penalty is a good result and hopefully tomorrow we are just o♑ne position away from the poin💫ts let’s see.”

Will 🎀Alonso bring a different set-up for Sunday’s race?

“We’ve been testing a few different set-ups, these long corners and t♚💜hese cars they all behave differently.

“I think our car was behaving very differently in Bahrain and after thℱe first packages we introduced we changed a little bit the characteristics of the car so we can mitigate a little bit with the set-ups.

“We are understanding more and more, but when you understand t🧸he package, the next one is coming and it resets everything.

“As I said now I think we have a plan, let’s see if it contributes to 💞a better result, but we are more confident than we have been in the previous months.

“I think it’s more understanding about the car, we cannot forget last year was the first car that 🍰this new technical team was designing.

“We’♔ve been trying to add performance to the car, sometimes we didn’t add much and made the car a bit m✃ore tricky and difficult to drive.

“They🏅’ve been working for one year and a half together, and everything is growing still at the top level, and it’s a st💖rong position into the future.

“So I’m very𓂃 relaxed, but the present is what matters in racing and today the present is Barcelona and it’s obviously painful but I’m relaxed about the performance.”
