“I'm performing at a very high level,” Alonso in💟sisted after the Monaco Grand Prix.

“Obviously, you never have self-doubt when you are a For꧑mula 1 driver. But it's true that from tღime to time to have a nice result is always welcome.

“It puts a📖 smile [on your face]. You go tomorrow to the g𒆙ym and you are a little bit more motivated, and you have some good news.

“In my case, there are no good news. So I need to keep going tom🍎orrow morning to the gym.

“I need to keep performing well and that's whౠat I take. Monaco is a very special, very specific place. Mega laps in qualifying. Good laps now in the race even without the DRS system.

“If I had no points because of the slow 🧔pace or contacts with other cars or touching the wall or whatever because of my mistakes, I would be very frustrated.

“But I feel the opposite; I feel I'm ൩performing at a very high level. So I feel relaxed and waiting for an opp𝔉ortunity.”

Alonso was asked if he was desperate to seeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ change quꦇickly at Aston Martin.

“Well, to be honest, I will be happy if everythin🎀g goes🅺 like this the whole season and I win in Australia next year,” he replied.

“For me, it doesn't really change to finish P8 in 🌱Barcelona or Canada to score eight points this year or 22. It doesn't change much.

“While next year, with the change of regulation, we really hope to be a contender for the championship. So I'm happy to accumulate all the DNFs thiꦓs year.”

Aston Martin’s bold vision for the future was made clearer in Monaco due to the appearance of Adrian Newey✤.

The car design genius was making his first appearance in the F1 paddock for his new team since exiting Red Bull.

Alonso hopes that Newey’s influence on next year’s car, 🌊when the 2026 F1 regulations come in, could give him winning opportun🗹ities.

Fernando Alonso explains problem at F1 Monaco GP

Alonso explained the problem which caused the en🐲d of his gra🐬nd prix: “I had a problem with the engine since Lap 15.

“I didn't have the air system, the electrical power. So I think I was like Danny Ricciardo in 2017 ❀with no electrical power. So I had 160 horsepower less.

“But here in Monaco power was not crucial, so I kept the lap tim෴e reasonable and I think I was dreaming to keep the P6 at the end.

“Ma🍷ybe it was not possible. But yeah, the race was good. In my case, qualifying was very good yesterday. So we lost an opportu♕nity today.

“When you don't have the proper power and ev🦂erything seems to be on the wr💞ong foot again at the race start, it was bad, but today it's not bad luck.

“It's not [like] something came from the sk🌳y and hit our car. Or our own Safety Car to♏day.

“Our engine was not well prepared into the𝔉 race and we couldn't finish. So let's try to investigate tha෴t and make sure that it's not happening in the next races.”
