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.<\/p>\n
Alonso didn’t miss making a comment to the seven-time world champion on the radio after this incident.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I was surprised to see Leclerc come in, but Ferrari always makes strange strategies.<\/p>\n
(laughs)<\/i> And this one was part of it. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Asked about the thing he enjoyed the most this weekend, the double world champion took the opportunity to respond with humor.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
