Alonso prefers to laugh at Ferrari’s strategies

The Spanish driver starting from the second row this weekend had made an excellent start by overtaking Sergio Perez. Unfortunately, a contact with Lewis Hamilton after the Kemmel straight made him lose his position to Sergio Perez and George Russell.

Alonso didn’t miss making a comment to the seven-time world champion on the radio after this incident.

At the end of the race, the Spanish driver declared: “I think it was a racing incident on the first lap. It was just a racing incident, nothing more to add. Of course, I was frustrated when I spoke on the radio. I was surprised that he took responsibility for the incident, that’s kind of him.”

Finally, Alonso inherited fifth place after the race due to a penalty imposed on Leclerc for excessive speed in the pit lane. This made the Alpine driver happy, who didn’t hesitate to take advantage of Ferrari’s mistake.

I was surprised to see Leclerc come in, but Ferrari always makes strange strategies.

(laughs) And this one was part of it. »

Asked about the thing he enjoyed the most this weekend, the double world champion took the opportunity to respond with humor.

Surely the last five minutes, when I saw Charles’ penalty. It was definitely the best moment because I gained a position for free after the race, and it was quite unexpected.

This gained position surely delighted the members of the Alpine team, who achieved a superb performance in the race for fourth place in the constructors’ standings. The French team inflicted a 16-0 defeat on McLaren this weekend and now has a 19-point lead in the championship.
